248667 Gnr. Jack Prior Lambert British Army 112th Field Regiment Royal Artillery from:London We believe from notes my father, Jack Lambert, wrote in the last years of his life that he was in the Gorlitz camp during the war.
He was captured in Normandy on 28th June 1944. He was gradually moved via a cattle trucks to Gorlitz via camps near Chatres, France, and Limbourg, Belgium. It sounds as though he spent much of his time at Gorlitz in the Lazarette. He was later transferred to Lamsdorf to go forward for a medical commission with the possibility of repatriation, he was assessed there on 20th October 1944, reported as not being ill enough for repatriation, and remained there until the end of the war, returning to the UK via Memmingham in Bavaria.
