John Singleton
British Army
My uncle Jack Singleton was captured in Crete he was with the 8th Army during the 2nd World War and held in Stalag 8b. Fortunately he was one of the better treated apparently as he acted as the interpreter between the Germans and the other prisoners.
He was held until the end of the war and upon his release it took my parents and my auntie (his wife) almost 2 years to get his weight back up to what it should be.
His name was John Singleton but we always knew him as Uncle Jack. Unfortunately he passed away in 1996 and his wife passed within 4 weeks of him passing.
