205155 Gnr. Robert Alfred Cope British Army 68th Med Regt Royal Artillery from:Chelmsford, Essex My Dad Bob Cope was one of the prisoners held at Stalag IVb.
He was held there from June 1942 till May 1945, although he never spoke
of his time there or indeed the war. He died in 1986 and I have been doing
what research I can online, I found many old photos in his old box one of
which was a membership card (attached) to what I believe was the forerunner to the Flywheel club it was called the Auto club with a no7 in flying wings
esb 1942 his membership no was 79 and it was signed by the sec T Swallow,
who later on formed the Flywheel club I think between 1944-1945 and who after the war wrote the book "Memories of the open road", which I have.
