225767 Pte James McQuillan "Sandy" Saunders British Army Durham Light Infantry from:Southwick, Sunderland James Saunders is my father, who died when I was 15, that was 44yrs ago now, and I never got to know many details, and I only know now because of research. He was in Stalag XXB, Marienburg camp between 1939-1945. He was quite an intelligent young man, and I remember he could speak 12 languages, German being one of them, he told me of the time he would listen to the German soldiers chatting and unaware that he understood every word they were saying, he said he had a few laughs at their expense.
