Pte. william Allen . Army Queens Royal West Surrey from Aldershot, Hants My late father’s service, was with The Queen’s Royal West Surrey regiment. He was captured at Arras in France, his regimental number was 6090475,and his p.o.w. number was 6154, and he was like a lot more gallant men.and sent to Stalag xxa at Thorn Poland, he worked on a farm, at the time of sending this letter I’m tracing my family tree, which I started when my father was alive, but as he died about 30years ago, I’ts left a blank in my research ,so if theres some-one who knew my father, and can send me any infomation, when he was working on the farm, he told me that to keep their farm, the farmer had to sign papers so they could keep their farm, and become "volks deutscher" which means second class "german citizen" so the polish farmers could keep their land and their sons were sent into the German army. As for the death march he was in that too, he also told me that he and many others had to dig up a mass grave of which the bodies they got out were those of babies, who were buried alive, so bullets, were saved, and when my twin brother and myself were born, he had a nervous break-down ,as it all came back, I felt that I had to write this as a lot of people didn’t know what when on.

Pte. William Allen . British Army Queen's Royal West Surrey Rgt My late father was a POW, number 6154 at Stalag XXA (Thorn or Torun, Poland). He related how, when he was on a work detail on the road to Danzig, he found the body of a Polish soldier. He told the guard, who informed his officer. They buried him with full military honours, even though he was the enemy. I would like to hear from ex-POWs who knew my dad. He worked on a farm at Torun.

Sgt. Alan George Allinson . British Army 22nd Field Regiment, 36/55 Bty. Royal Artillery from Feckenham, Worcestershire George Allinson was my Grandfather. I have just found some diaries covering 1944 - 1945 which I have transcribed, and will send to my uncle who has more. We are both missing any diaries from 1943 when he would have been in Tunisia. Keen to find out more about that time. Fascinating reading and mentions of other that died during the war, although some of it hard to make out. A lot of it tallies with the stories he used to tell me when I was a child. I went with him to Russia in 1984 as part of a Dunkirk Veterans trip to celebrate 40 year anniversary of VE day. He died in 1991.
