Pte. John James Hawarden
British Army Royal Signals
from:Preston
John Hawarden known as Jack, was in the British Expeditionary Force and was captured at Dunkirk after being wounded by shrapnel.
Records show he was held in Stalag XXB. He didn't talk much about his time as a POW but did say the Polish women were kind to the POWs running into the street to give them food when they were being marched out of Poland and towards Germany.
