George Mouzer was my uncle. He was born in 1920. He joined the British Army and trained at Chepstow Army Training School at the age of 17. Prior to this he lived in Abbassia, Egypt with his family. His father (my grandfather was stationed with the army). I know little of his army history, but know that he was captured on 12th June 1940 at Saint - Valery. According to his capture card he was slightly wounded and admitted to Stalag XXA he was then transferred to BAB20 in 1942. From there he was transferred to Stalag 344 Lamsdorf in 1944.
He was part of the Long March which commenced on 22nd Jan 1945 to Bavaria. Unfortunately, after being held as a POW for 5 years in this notorious camp, he was killed before getting the chance to be repatriated in April 1945, when working on the railway in Bayreuth, the railway was bombed taking 3 direct hits, my uncle who was hiding under the railway bridge was killed instantly. He was 25.
