Pte. Harry "Darkie" Cressey
East Yorkshire Yeomanry
from:Hull
Harry Cressey was my father in law. He died in 1995. He didn't say much about his time in Torun (Thorn) but did say he was in Fort 17 and arrived on his 21st birthday which was 13th June 1940. That he used to go out on work details to farms. That he marched through a Polish winter, walking up to 30 Km a day on to near Hanover where he and his mate escaped for 3 days until the Americans broke through.
