Pvt. Gilbert O. Edmisten

US Army 349th Infantry Regiment

from:Watauga County, North Carolina

Gilberts gravestone

Gilbert Edmisten is my uncle. Here is what he told me of his capture: His unit were fighting to take a town (he didn't say what town, don't know if he even knew) and he was on the corner of a building, his buddy was on another corner. His unit retreated but he and his buddy were not aware of that. His buddy was shot and killed and he was captured. He told me he was held in a camp on a potato farm. I found out through records the camp was associated with Stalag 2B. He told me they could see in the distance another camp with Polish women prisoners, also farming potatoes.
