Fus. John Alexander Creery . British Army Royal Scots Fusiliers from 34 Tyne Street My father, John Creery, was a prisoner of war for 5 years. I have learnt that he was in Luckenwalde Camp Stalag IIIA. I remember him telling us stories about being so hungry he ate raw cabbages and raw potatoes and of finding men hanging in the toilets that couldn't take any more. I have to say none of his stories were happy ones. The only thing I found funny was someone gave him some cigarettes but he didn't smoke. So, he asked someone to try and get him some toothpaste as he was proud of his teeth and missed cleaning them. He did get some which he was glad for.
I remember my granny saying he went away a young man with lots of curly hair and came back like an old man with very little hair. He was awarded his wages on a cart by the lord mayor of his home town which was the Shankill Road, Belfast.
He continued to work for the British Legion until he retired.

George Edward Crellin . British Army 15th IoM Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, 129th Batte Royal Artillery from Isle of Man My late father, George Edward Crellin was with the 129th Battery, 15th (Isle of Man) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment. The 129th was raised on the IOM just before war broke out. He was one of the many soldiers and officers of the 129th captured in Crete (only 1 officer and 30 soldiers escaped capture). He eventually ended up in Germany and was in Stalag 3D from August 1941 to October 1943, then Stalag 4G from November 1943 to April 1945. During his time as a POW he was in several work parties. e.g. at a stone quarry. Along with many of his fellow Manx POWs, my father died young and probably as a result of the harsh treatment received. I would be very grateful for any further information about my father, the camps and about the liberation of Stalag 4G.

Ernest Walter Cressweller . British Army Middlesex Regiment from Newland Road, Worthing Ernest Walter Cressweller was my grandfather, he enlisted with the Middlesex Regement on the 2nd of Nov 1943. I know very little about his time during the war as he died before I was born aged only 34. Unfortunately, my grandmother didn't like to talk about it too much although he did not die until he left the Army. He was discharged from the Army in 1947. However, he didn't pass away until 1960 when his son, my father was only 3. It was always implied that he died as a result of the war and his death certificate basically says heart failure.
I only have 3 very small photos of him and would love to know more about him, I wonder if anyone who knew him is still around remembers anything about him.
