WO1 George Ernest "Mickie" Raw
British Army Royal Artillery
from:Sunderland
My father, George Ernest Raw, was captured during the defence of Dunkirk in April 1940 and was held as a POW at Stalag 344 (8b) until March 1945. However, in July 1942 until April 1943 he was transferred to Stalag 319. I am unable to find any reason for this, as the historians inform me only Russian or Jewish POWs were transferred to 319 from 344. Thankfully my father returned home safely.
Any information during this time will be of interest to my research.
