Pte. John Edward "Ted" Leese

British Army Notts & Derby Regiment

My father, John Edward Leese, who was a member of the Sherwood Foresters in the British Army in WWII. He was captured at Dunkirk. Dad was not one to tell of the horrors of war. His family is in Australia (where he and mum emigrated after war) and believe he was in either Stalag 9 or 11 in Poland. Dad told a story of being marched for days and days across Poland. This story I have read on many websites. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Update: Just in case you do not have this information, Prisoners of the British Army lists: Leese J.E., Pte 4971012, Foresters, POW No. 8659, Camp Stalag 20A (located at Thorn Podgorz). - Stuart Brown
