Sgt. Ronald Etheridge . Royal Air Force 61 Sqdn from Manchester (d.14/15th April 1940) My father Ronald Etheridge was a pilot with 61 Squadron and went missing whilst on a gardening op on 14th April 1940. Over many years I have been unable to establish what happened to his Hampden as all the crew were listed as missing presumed killed. Possibly another aircraft taking part in that raid returned and somewhere somebody may have just a little information. I have recently provided the authorities with a copy of my father's birth certificate enabling the record at the Runnymede Memorial to now show his correct age at death as 23 and not 35 as previously stated. Any snippets of information about my father or his fellow crew members would be appreciated.

Robert Etherton . Army Royal Sussex Regiment My Dad was captured in Dunkirk and spent the rest of the war in Stalag V111 B. He didn't like to talk about it but I do know that he managed to escape with another prisoner near the end of the war. Did anyone know him? I have photos of him playing the trombone. I have lots of photos, letters, postcards etc that he sent my mother. Very emotional stuff! I would love to know if anyone can tell me anything about him.

Sgt. Alexander Spence Evans . Royal Air Force from Liverpool My Uncle Alex Evans's plane took a hit over Germany early in 1944. He was injured with shrapnel wounds. His Canadian fellow crew members decided to eject him from the plane so strapped his parachute onto him. He was then captured by the German forces and taken to a POW camp.
He first appears in records as arriving 24th of April 1944 at Stalag Luft 6 from Dulag Luft.
He was then kept in Stalag 357 until repatriation home to Liverpool. His name appears several times in documents recording his detention. His POW number being 3536.
As we understand it the aircraft he was in crashed with the loss of the entire Canadian crew. We have a photograph of him with this crew. His wounds were treated by German doctors although he suffered pain in his legs throughout his life as some shrapnel remained. Whilst being held his name was mentioned more than once on broadcasts by Lord Haw Haw and it was said he was 'crying for his mother'. So cruel. An endearing family man, much loved. He died in 1992.

Pte. Benjamin Evans . British Army 1st Btn. Welch Regiment from Chapel Row, Nantyglo, Breconshire My late father Benjamin Evans joined the West Monmouthshire Regiment in 1939, aged 20. After basic training, he transferred to the 1st Battalion, Welch Regiment where he trained for desert warfare. Then he sailed from Plymouth around Africa to Egypt. In 1940, he saw action in the battles of Mersa Matruh and Bardia. In 1942, he was captured by Italian troops and was a POW in Italy until the Italians capitulated. He then became a POW of the Germans, who took him to a camp in Poland where he remained until early 1945, when the Russians were closing in from the east and the Germans marched all of the POWs to a camp at Lamsdorf in Germany. Along the way he had frostbite, which resulted in all of his toes being amputated. He was liberated from Lamsdorf by the Americans and flown back home where he spent a year in hospital, being discharged in 1946.
