Spr. Richard James Drew
British Army 100th Field Company Royal Engineers
from:Newport
My Grandfather Richard Drew was a Sapper for the Royal Engineers 100th Field Company, Royal Engineers. He was captured at Cassel 30th of May 1940 and kept as a Prisoner of War in Stalag 8b until they were repatriated in 1945 after the long march or death march.
I have very little information on him apart from what I've found myself searching records.
He died in 1966 from complications due to his time as a PoW and I never got to hear his story.
