Cornelius "Taffy" Garvin
British Army 2nd Btn. Welsh Guards

My father, Cornelius Garvin (also kown as Taffy or Con), was a member of the 2nd Btn Welsh Guards. He was captured on 10th June 1940 and was taken to Stalag IXC. I have numerous photographs and programmes from 1943 and 1944 relating to the Christmas pantomimes held in the camp. I also have my father's diary in which there are many names and messages from other prisoners.
