Stephen Featherstone
British Army
My uncle, Stephen Featherstone, was a POW at Stalag XXA in the early 1940s and then in Stalag 383 around 1943. I don't know what regiment he was in but he was captured after only a few weeks in the army and was a POW for the duration of WW2. He never talked about his wartime experiences but there are dozens of photos which were sent home during this period.

Born in Hunwick, Co Durham, in 1913, he was a wonderful uncle, father and grandfather. After the war he worked until retirement as a railway signalman in the Stockton on Tees area.
