Gnr. Donald Trevelyn Joseph "Smudger" Smith 99th Field Regiment Royal Artillery
My late father Donald Smith was captured at Dunkirk and was reported missing on 20th of July 1940. On 18th of September 1940 he was reported as being a POW residing in Stalag 20B, Marienburg, Poland, POW number 9352. I believe he made a good friend with a fellow prisoner, George Sutherland from Dagenham, Essex. My father was very reluctant to speak of his wartime experiences but I believe that along with George Sutherland, he escaped and eventually made his way back to England via Odessa. If anyone has any further information, I would love to hear from them.Alan Smith
