Cpl. Edward William Ratcliff

British Army East Kent Regiment

from:Ramsgate, Kent

I am sure grandfather is in this photo, taken outside Hut 91 (2nd Row sitting far right)

My grandfather, Edward William Ratcliff, was a POW at Stalag 383. I am not entirely sure when he was captured (possibly 1942), but he was there until the end of the war, when they were liberated by US Troops. He was in The Buffs (East Kents).

I have loads of photos that were taken during his time there, some I have seen on the web already, so I presume they were issued to quite a few. I have photos of the shows they used to put on, of the Red Cross parcels they received, and also a photo of him with the Camp stamp on the reverse, which was sent to my grandmother back in England.
