Pte. Peter Ronald "Mick" Hickman 2/7 Royal Middlesex My dear old dad, Peter Hickman, was in the 2/7 Battalion Royal Middlesex Regiment and was a prisoner of war in Germany interned in Stalag 1VC on 13th June 1944.
My Grandmother, Thurza, in 1944 would read tarrot cards for her friends and neighbours and decided that she would read her own card as she was so worried about her son as she had not heard from him.(Despite knowing that you should never read your own cards!) Poor Grandmar saw death all around her son, this worried her terribly and I guess this may have been the dreadful prisoner of war camp that she later discovered he was in.
Dad has never spoken much about these dark days but said he was treated well considering the circumstances.
I believe his best pal was a gentleman called Harry Sugar and I know dad often thought about Harry and his lost comrades and they are still in his heart and memory today.
Dad is still alive and kicking! Bless him - we are very lucky for our dad to have survived as we appreciate how fragile life can be.
