Pte. Robert Stanley Ward
British Army Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards)
from:Carlin How. Saltburn TS13 4DP
Stan Ward was a Rangefinder. He was held as a prisoner of war. He was sent to
work in a coal mine and ended up with a spinal injury in Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
He had the utmost respect for the Polish people he was forced to work with, in particular a jeweller who my father shared his Red Cross parcel with for his children.
He actually made my father a ring from some pre war silver coins all smuggled in and out of a mine.
