208013 Arthur Leonard Barton British Army My Uncle Leon Barton was a prisoner in Stalag XXIA (Gefangennummer 3387) in Thorn, Poland in 1942 when he was repatriated. He was ill and, as far as I know, went into a mental hospital and it seems he was abandoned by the family. I would love to know if anyone knows what happened to him or can tell me what he was like and any stories. It seems awful to think how much he suffered and then the stigma of mental illness meant he was forgotten about. I hope that one day he got well and managed to find a new and happier life somewhere. I have a postcard he sent to my mother on May 19th 1942 and a photo taken on repatriation with him being carried out of camp on a stretcher. His full name is Arthur Leonard Barton but he signed mum's postcard: L McLeon-Barton. Not sure why. I'd appreciate any help to find out more.
