Flt Sgt. Neville Aubrey Fearneyhough . Royal Air Force 77 Squadron from Gateshead My father Neville Fearneyhough (d 2006) was stationed at RAF Elvington with Squadron 77. He was shot down in Holland on 1 May 1943 on the way to bomb Essen.(He was the navigator/observer) Only he and another, Butlin, survived. He was hidden by Dutch resistance leader Dr J Kreimel near Apeldoorn and was put on the escape route via Paris. This had been infiltrated by de Witter and he was betrayed to the Gestapo. He eventually was a POW of the Luftwaffe. He escaped during the retreat from the Red Army but was recaptured and treated for dipththeria in a POW hospital full of Russians with TB. As a POW he taught himself Latin and was able to matriculate.
I can't trace any more wartime information about Joe Kreimel, but I do know he was decorated by Prince Bernhard and I have letters from him to my father after the war. He was a doctor and hid a number of Jews as well as allied Airmen.

Eric Fearnside . New Zealand Exp Force At four o'clock in the morning, we heard the cries, "Raus! Raus!" and we were tumbled out of bed for what was to become the last time at Stalag XVIIIA at Wolfsberg. Bewildered and shivering with the cold on the parade ground, we were told by the Commandant that we were being evacuated to a safer area. Taking only the bare essentials, we marched off into the unknown. The date was the 10th of May, 1945. The war had been over for two days, we could not believe it, we were at last going home. We were free....

Corporal Luigi Joseph Fede . US Army Military Police During part of 1943/1944 I was stationed in Carinaro, Italy at what was a POW Camp. It was next to a railroad but cannot recall what street it was on. I emailed the city of Carinaro to see if they could tell me where the camp was located so that I may find it on Google Maps but never received a reply. What I can find on the internet is that the Carinaro camp (No. 63) was near Arezzo but the only Arezzo is in the Tuscany region of Italy.
Carinaro has developed into quite a modern city that I don't recognize any of the places. We went to an old church there that was so poor that the members of the parish would bring their own chairs to Mass if they wanted to sit down. I also vividly remember one morning while at my desk a German plane flew low over the railroad tracks and strafed our building !! Whew !!!

My other Uncle Ken, Eric's brother, ordered Eric to "Get the hell home", after bumping in to him in the centre of London. Eric's name is on the Runnymede memorial. I value very much what my Uncle and the thousands of others sacrificed, so that I could live in the UK 60 years on.

Sgt. Joseph Fee . British Army 11th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers from Rochdale, Lancashire My Granddad Joseph Fee served on Malta during the whole of the Siege. He was then shipped to Italy and served in the Italian Campaign. His greatest story was when he and a group of others were heading up the mountains to the front line. All their supplies were tethered to a group of donkeys, which in turn were tethered together in a line. The group were making their way under cover of darkness up a narrow pass when the first donkey stumbled over the edge and fell down the mountainside. Of course because all the donkeys were tied together the whole lot went over the edge. Next morning the soldiers made their way down the mountain to get their supplies back expecting to find a group of dead donkeys, but when they reached them they were all alive and grazing on grass. All the padding around them had protected them. Whether the story is true or not we never tired of hearing it and it always made us all laugh.
He saw the end of the war out in the Middle East including Palestine, where they were being regrouped for training in preparation for operations in the Far East. I just thought it important that he be remembered for the sacrifices that he and countless others made in protecting our great Nation at that time of great need.
