John Joseph Payne
British Army
My great uncle Jack Payne is a bit of a mystery man. All I know about him is through P.O.W letters he sent my Grandmother, from the letters he says he was taken prisoner in May 1940 in France, possibly Dunkirk. Jack hadn't see my Grandfather for 10 years until he found him on a stretcher about to be evacuated from Dunkirk with G.S.W Forehead. He survived.
The letters came from Stalag 111d camp 998, prisoner number 11096. I don't know what Regiment Jack was in or Rank but he was definitely in the Army. Jack married Victoria after the war, he lived in England and died in the 1960s. Can any one point me in the right direction to get more info on my Great Uncle Jack.
