Daphne Adams . Auxiliary Territorial Service I hope some of my friends love a mystery and try to help solve this one. I recently went through some of my father's WWII memorabilia. This picture was among the items. It was apparently taken in Antwerp, in March of 1945. These women are apparently Brits that were also stationed there. My dad passed away in 1990. It's likely these gals are no longer with us. However, their relatives may recognize them. I'll be glad to pass the picture along to one of them. There are lots of clues on the flip side of the picture. I think I actually looked at the addressed house, 19 Haling Park Rd., South Croydon, Surrey, England using Google earth. I think Daphne Adams is the name of the writer. I can't make out the last name but it's there. I contacted a Daphne in England and she did write back to say there was no relation. You give it a try!

Frank George Webster Adams .

He flew with RCAF Squadron 420, and it is believed that the POW camps he was interned in were Stalag 9C, Stalag Luft 6 and Stalag 357.

James Forbes "Pongo" Adams . Army The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders The name James Stobie is so familiar!! My late father was James Forbes Adams of Nairn, was in the Cameron Highlanders (51st Highland Division). He was a drummer with Cameron Highlanders (Territorials) Pipe Band, and as he was 18, he got called up to take place of the 17 year old tip drummer.  James Forbes Adams at breakup of a Territorial camp near Fort George, just prior to hostilities.
 The dreaded telegram his aunty received when he was posted missing.
Dad did attempt escape twice, once in Holland on the long march to Germany, and I believe the other time was when he was at Stalag XXA (Fort 13). He ended up at Stalag XXB. It was hard to get him to talk about his experiences. As a child, I can vividly remember him waking up screaming as a result of the nightmares (right up until the early 60's). He once let his guard down and told me how one night he awoke thinking he was dyingas he was completely soaked in blood. Sadly it was the chap in the bunk above him who had taken his own life.
