256267 Pte. William Jospeh "Jock" Power British Army 1st Btn Cameron Highlanders from:Colburn,Catterick,Yorks (d.1951) I have fallen heir to my father's ring, which was apparently made from a bolt stolen from one of the salt mines that he was forced to work in as a prisoner of war. Three of them stole the platinum bolt and one of them, a jeweller before the war, made three rings. I wear the ring constantly. It fits perfectly and I feel that my father, William Power who died of T.B. in 1951 when I was 4, is with me at all times! His Stalag 9C number was 1834 and he was captured at St-Valery en Caux on the 12th of June 1940. He arrived at Stalag 9C on 11th of July 1940. It seems from Red Cross records that he may have been in work camps 761a, Rub 7689, 817 and 582 where some work payment credits were recorded. Can anyone help to identify these?
