Pte. Edward Herrington Mursell
British Army 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment
from:Blackfield, Southampton
Ted Mursell joined the Expeditionary Forces in France in 1939 and was captured at Dunkirk in 1940.
Family information records him as being at Malbork in Poland in 1942 at Stalag XX-B, 123. POW No 13639.
Sadly no real information passed down, and he died in 1964 at the age of 46.
We do know that he somehow befriended a young lady whilst a POW, and correspondence in Polish is to hand, but this ceased in 1947.
