Pte. David H. Johnson
British Army Tyneside Scottish Btn Black Watch
I'm doing some research into my grandfather, Pte. David H.Johnson, of the Tyneside Scottish. Davey was held at Stalag XXID. Among the materials I found was a 21st Birthday card signed by his fellow prisoners and made by hand, as well as a charming advert for the POW Pantomine of Aladdin at the Kuhndorf Theatre (written by F.E.Cook and L.W Godfrey with Alec Buist and Syd Price helping). My grandad played the Princess.
I've so many names and lists of people that he kept in contact with stuffed into little cigarette tins and German newspapers. Can anyone tell me if Stalag XXID is still standing, if so, it's a place that I'd feel the need to visit?
