Pte. Harry Frederick "Blondy" Kelly
British Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:Fulham
My father, Harry Kelly was, I think, in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps. He was sent to France in 1939. They were told the French would be there to help defend Calais. According to my father there were no French there, only Germans. Hence he was captured and marched 1000 miles to Stalag 20b. There he was a prisoner for the next 5 and odd years. He worked on a farm and the Frau used to feed him good food, which he always remembered. He was liberated in 1945 but contracted mumps on the way home and was sent to an American hospital in France, so was not demobbed for another 2 weeks.
