CSM. Stanley Ray D Company 14th Coy. I'm actually trying to find out about Stan Ray, he was my grand father who I know little about and would love to know stories about him.
I know he served in Burma, he was called up on 15th October 1939 and was discharged on 8th March 1946.

Cpl. Charles Henry Cowing C Section 14th Reserve MT Company My late uncle served in the Middle East as a driver in the RASC in 1941. I only know that he drove some important people around during this time.
Before he left England he was at a camp in Evesham.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone who may have any info on him?

Cpl. Charles Henry Francis "Carl" Galliers 14th Reserve MT Coy, C Section Royal Army Service Corps My paternal grandfather Corporal Charles Henry Francis Galliers, RASC "C" section, 14th reserve MT coy, middle east forces in 1941 was in the POW Camp PG78 in Italy after 1942 (not sure of dates) and then stalag IVB during spring 1944 (I have a letter sent home with april 1944 on it). He died 3 years ago, the only memories he told were of being starving hungry in the Italian camp and chewing boot leather to stave off hunger and when a donkey was brought into camp pulling a cart it didn't live to leave! He was treated better by the Germans. I have some photos with a couple of other POWs names on the back - Geoff Galloway and George Frick (?can't read the writing properly looks like Frick) - also some photos of my grandad working on building a war memorial and on the back it reads "newborderf am elbe, (again not sure of spelling) prisoners of war cemetary, taken 7th may 1944". There is also a photo of a german guard - his name on the back " ? officer Siebel". Anyone who has any info about my grandad, his platoon, the camps he was in I would be interested to hear from them. I will send scans of the photos I have later when I have mastered the technology!
