Able Sea. Edward Thomas Lander
Royal Navy HMS Express
from:Crayford, Kent
My grandfather, Edward Lander was shipwrecked and spent days afloat before he was picked up by the Germans and taken prisoner. He was in various POW camps, and I have the list, but he was in BAB 21 (Bau und Arbeits Battalion 21), Stalag 8b, where he is shown in photos unloading Red Cross Parcels. He was also on the forced westward march of POWs in January 1945.
