Rflmn. George William Pursey
British Army 9th Btn. Rifle Brigade
from:Mile End, Greater London
George Pursey was reported missing on 7th of April 1941 and then reported to be in Italian POW Camp no 102 in Aquila, Italy. At some stage he was transferred to Altengrebow Stalag 11a. I know he was in Paris in November 1945 and eventually died in Richmond, Surrey in 1991. I am George Pursey's daughter born a few months after he was captured, I was adopted in January 1944 and would love to learn more about my father and his life both during and after the war. His POW number was 142570.
