5043285 Lt. John Henry Terry Ford British Army Reconnaissance Corps I am trying to peice together some information about my grandfather John Ford who passed away in 1991. I know he volunteered to go to Finland and is listed as being in Group Sisu. I know from a book written by Jerome Caminada entitled "My Purpose Holds" that he helped Giles Romilly attempt to escape from Wulzberg some time prior to April 1942, he is referred to as Jack Ford. From the same book I understand that by April 1942 he was in Tost bei Gleiwitz when he, Charles Averill and Jerome Caminada tried to escape. In September 1942 he and Charles Averill assisted Jerome Caminada in a successful escape. The book follows the escape of Caminada and my grandfather's story goes cold. From information on the Ancestry website on British Prisoners of War a J H Ford is listed as being a prisoner in Oflag V11-B, Eichstatt. I am assuming this is my grandfather although there is not a date to state what period he was held prisoner here.
Would anyone be able to assist me with any further information or does any one remember him?
