Samuel Barnfield
British Army Norfolk Regiment
from:Norwich
My Grandfather Samuel Barnfield was a member of the Royal Norfolk Regiment during WW2.I remember him telling me very few details.I believe he was at Dunkirk.As i remember my Nan telling me that my Grandad dropped his rifle in the Channel while climbing onto a rescue boat. He was most upset that he had to pay for the rifle later.
He was also a Prisoner of War of the Japanese and spent approx. three years in Burma.
I am not sure of what Regiment he served with in Burma, any help would be appreciated.
As a side note my Grandfather on my fathers side was German and fought on their side, he was captured by the Russians but escaped and was captured by the British.
