Pte. Fred C. S. Vowles MID.

British Army 1st (Buckinghamshire) Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry

Fred Vowles was adopted by Greys WI, near Henley on Thames. He appears in the WI archives of Greys as "Fred" or "our prisoner of war". From 1943 until 1945 letters to and from Fred were documented, gift were sent, mainly hand knitted garments such as gloves and socks, but also cigarettes and a book on combustion engines. In July 1945 he visited Greys and was presented with a wallet and £11-5s. We know nothing more, except I have discovered that Fred was held in Stalag XXB for 5 years. If anyone knows anything about Fred Vowles, we would be very grateful.
