Col. John Fenwick Lovell Gwatkin-Williams

British Army 8th Army

My father John Gwatkin-Williams was Commander of Moreton-on-Lugg towards the close of war. He was taken off active duty and put in to run the camp as there had been much disturbance in the camp and the POWs had been restless. He was very successful and the POWs presented him with a ship-in-a-bottle which they had created for him and which we still have.

I would like to know much more about the POW camp and am unable to learn very much (I live in Australia). My father was son of Capt Gwatkin-Williams RN, author of 'Prisoners of the Red Desert' and 'Under the Black Ensign'.
