Able.Sea. Thomas "Snowy" Dixon

Royal Navy

from:Hockley Essex

My late father, Thomas Dixon, was captured at sea. We understand he was transferred to another ship before spending some time on the Admiral Scheer. We have a few letters he wrote home.

He was landed in France and was initially held at Front Stalag 221 St Medard. The next letter we have is sent from Stalag XB 20th August 1941 whilst he was held at Marlag. We are not sure if this was Sandbostal or two other possible sites nearby as the camp was moved during his incarceration. We have a number of letters from this camp.

We then have a letter from M-Stammlager Stalag VIIIB dated 19th August 1942 which seems to be Lamsdorf, and then some letters from December 1942 from Heydebreck through to December 1944. We believe after this he was forced marched with others back into Germany...but we have no records from there on in. His Prisoner of War number was 90870
