William Gordon Cumming . British Army from Oswestry, Shropshire These photos were taken in 1944, I know it was Cairo, my grandfather is on the far left at the back but I'd like to know what Regiment or base this was?
He was William Gordon Cumming, born 1909 so actually 'old' to go to war, he wasn't called up until 1944 I believe and went to Cairo in a supplies type role. Prior to that in the UK he had been an office worker for Prudential so would have had good organisational skills.
Very little is known about his wartime destinations and I would appreciate any thoughts anyone has. I know its a long shot but thought its worth a try.

F/Lt. Alexander McKay Cummings . Royal Air Force 43 Squadron (d.11th Nov 1944) I am doing a search for the municipality of Vigonza, a small village at nort east of Padua, about soldier dead in the area during the 2 WW, with the aim to make a book for remember them on next 25th April. Checking the municipality archive, I found a letter (see attachment) dated 11th november 1944, regarding a english pilot crashed on 11th november 1944 at 13 oclock after a fighting. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission comunicated me that in Padua War Cemetry is buried one pilot dead on 11th november 1944, that is: Casualty: Flight Lieutenant Alexander McKay Cumming, 128858 Served With: 43 Sqdn. Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. Died: 11th November 1944, Commemorated: Padua War Cemetery, Italy Plot III. Row F. Grave 14. Additional Information: Age 21 Son of Alexander and Louisa J. Cummings, of Falkirk, Stirlingshire. Dux Medallist of Larbert Central School, 1937. But Commonwealth War Graves Commission dont hold any information on where and how Commonwealth war casualties died. Therefore with these information about pilot Cummings I am not sure he is the pilot Im looking for, infact. He could be captured same day before and not really shot down on 11th November 1944. Looking RAF museum website I see that exists a book regarding pilots dead in 2ndWW but is not advantageous to buy it only to give some information about one pilot. I wish know if he was realy shot down in Padua area on 11th november 1944 arround 13 oclock, what fighter he used (I think it is a Spitfire IX), what shot him down and other information you can have to verify if they match with Vigonza municipality archive letter.

Sgt. Cyril Patrick Cummings . US Army Air Corps from Spring Green, WI My Dad Cyril Cummings was a POW of WWII in Germany at Stalag Luft 4. He never talked about his experience there. We all knew it was too horrifying for him. Then the last year of his life he told me some horrific stories I will never forget.
These just tore my heart out as he spoke. Of course their food supply was little to nothing. A family, dad, mom and young son snuck food in for them when they could. The Germans caught the family and made the POW's watch them shoot all 3 of them to death.
Another time he talked about Christmas Eve. All the guys started to sing Silent Night and the Germans told them to stop but they didn't so the Germans started beating on them but they still wouldn't stop. They were beaten through the whole song but they did finish singing it completely.
I have spent several weeks on researching my dad's records and Stalag information but unfortunately not finding much. If by chance anyone reading this would recognize the names: Cyril Cummings, Bill Tate, Don Cairns, Forest Wilmouth and Charles O'Geen (as these were the men he was shot down with.) The name of the plane was San Antonio Rose, name of the crew was Oftenstein Crew, it would be a blessing to hear from you.

Pte. Frank Henry William Cummings . British Army Parachute Regiment from Manchester Frank Henry William Cummings was a POW at Stalag X1b, following being severely wounded at Arnhem on September 18th 1944. He was transferred from Hospital 9 (Princess Elizabeth Hospital) in Arnhem to Fallingbostel via the Apeldoorn Airborne hospital and was still being treated in the camp hospital when it was liberated. He emigrated to Australia after the war and settled down having a family of one boy and three girls. At their request I have been researching the history of what Frank endured and found this site. Frank never spoke of his experiences and now his family, 69 years after Arnhem, and have tasked me to research the history of what Frank had to endure.

Sgt. William Cummings . Army Royal Fusliers A relative of mine, Bill Cummings who I unfortunately only knew as a very young boy, was imprisoned at Stalag 8B. To the best of my knowledge, he was recalled to the Army in 1939 having already served from 1919 in various places throughout the Empire. He was captured after Dunkirk, while trying to escape to the South of France. I know from other relatives that he was involved in several ‘mishaps’ including at a coal mine (excessive explosive in the coal face) and a saw mill (fire). I also know from my uncle who took care of his body when he passed away that he had been severely tortured. I believe he was with the Royal Fusiliers. I wish I could speak with him now, his first hand experience of history – between the wars and during the war is something that we could all learn from.
