Pte. Laurence Bailey
British Army 5th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment
from:15 Melton Fields, Melton, North Ferriby.
My father, Laurence Bailey, was in Marienburg XXB for 5 years during WW2. He volunteered to work outside the camp because he got more food.
He worked in a sugar beet factory, on farms, and chopped trees down in the forest. His German guide told him he was a good worker and gave him a chicken he also let my father go fishing.
