254554 Laurence Charles Barnes British Army Kings Royal Rifles Corps from:London My father Lorry Barnes was captured at Calais and sat with a German guard waiting to be transported to a camp. He spoke fluent schoolboy German and this gave him extra black bread in the camps. His main camp was Stalag 8b. He worked on the roads breaking rocks and stole sugar from the sugar factory and sold it to the guards. He won money and opened a bank account in Dresden. This money was honoured post war. His friend in the camp was Alec whom he saw post war. He was marched across Germany and Poland and in the cold ate rats and smoked the bible. Many did not survive but he came back 5 stone in weight. I have letters addressed to mum from the camp. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
