J Sparrow
Royal Air Force
from:Elmswell Road Wetherden Nr Stowmarket Suffolk.
I have in my possession a YMCA prisoners book "A Wartime Log" in the name of John Sparrow, the book gave his address as Elmswell Road Wetherden Nr Stowmarket Suffolk. There are about 82 pages in the book, most of them are poems, drawings and letters, one page refers to Sunday 14 Jan 1945 in Stalag 357 refering to reprisals due to German POW's in Camp 306 in Egypt.
Could he be the JJ Sparrow listed above as a POW in camp 357? Any information on this prisoner as to his rank, occupation and how he became a prisoner would be greatly appreciated.
