501264 Ronald Davies Army Royal Artillery My father, Ronald Davies, served with the Royal Artillery and was a prisoner in Stalag 7A. He did not like talking about his wartime experiences. To my brother he spoke of being put on his knees with a gun to his head on three occasions, each time his life was saved by the priest.
To me he told tales of horses head soup and that it was the only time in his life that he had worn a moustache.
He escaped, was recaptured and sent to the coalmines in Poland (I think)
My father died in 1986. I wish he was here now to tell his stories.
