Pte. Albert Edward Clayton
British Army 8th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Flitwick, Bedfordshire
(d.28th Feb 1942)
My Great Uncle Albert Clayton enlisted into the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment before the outbreak of the war.
When war broke out he joined the 8th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment and was sent to France as part of the Expeditionary Force.
He was captured at Dunkirk and spent the next 2 years in a POW camp in Poland.
I think it may have been Stalag XXA at Torun, but this has not yet been confirmed.
He died of TB on 28th of February 1942 and is buried at Malborg Cemetery in Poland.
