Pte. William Herbert "Ginger" Evans

British Army

from:Southall, Middx

My father, William (Bill or Ginger) Evans was captured fighting rear guard at Dunkirk and ended up a POW in Poland. I have his dog tag stamped KR.GEF.LAGERTHORN NR 8918. I also have an home made key which purports to have opened one of the gates. The story goes that the youngest of the three, Graham Dudding, a Kiwi, would squeeze through the gates and unlock them so that my Dad and his other friend, Charley Redrup, could go into the local village to meet their girlfriends. I would love to hear from anyone who knew them although I realise the likelihood of them being alive is remote. My dad passed away 17 years ago.
