Pte Ernest John Rapley
British Army 2/7th Btn. Queen's Royal (West Surrey) Regiment
from:Sussex
(d.21st March 1945)
Was anyone a POW at Stalag XIA in March 1945? My father died there on 21st March 1945 and has no known grave. He was Pte E J Rapley (known as John) of the Queens Royal Regt. Does anyone know where the POWs who died were buried? Were they transferred to the Berlin War Cemetery? I have contacted Red Cross, CWGC and National Ex-POW Assn.
