Pte. Norman Findlay Taylor
British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps
from:Menmuir
My father in law, Norman Taylor died in 1988, after his death we found records of part of his life as a POW in Poland in Stalag 4a. The following is a summary of the facts we have available:
Norman served with the RAOC, he was captured in France on 20th June, and was
sent to Ft Stalag 142 Basancon, France. We have a photo of him outside the Hotel Lorrane on 21st October 1940. We are not sure how or when he was moved to Poland but we think he worked on a farm east of Danzig until 1945 when we have his record of his march from Danzig starting on 18th February 1945 until he was finally liberated by the Americans on the 2nd May at Dummerstuck in Germany.
We have a diary, map and other items he carried with him on the journey along with a list of his comrades and their pow numbers. We would love to find out more, if you can help please get in touch.
