501149 Ernest Lidster Army Royal Signals (d.1999) My father, Ernest Lidster, was a signal man in the Royal Signals. He was captured by the Germans on the 4/6/1940 at Lille, and he spent the rest of the war at Stalag 8B which I understand later became camp 344. He worked in the mines. He didn't speak much about his time there and when he did he got very upset, it had a very bad effect on him. He died in 1999 aged 80. Does anyone remember him, I am trying to find out as much as I can and it would be nice to speak to any one who knew him.
