Wilfred Walter Sharman
British Army
from:Finedon, Northamptonshire
Our father Wilfred Sharman was in the British Army during WW2. We know he served in Africa were he was shot a number of times. He was caught by the Germans and sent to E17 POW camp(we think). We have recently discovered that he was infact Jewish. The camp tattooed him the same as the Jews in the concentration camps. There are no records of him on any website his name just does not appear. We all grew up looking at the tattoo but did not make the connection. Are there other men out there with these tattoos? Was it common for British Jews to be tattooed like this, any information would be gratefully appreciated.
