Pte. Sydney Grindy . British Army 5th Btn. Royal East Kent Regiment My father - Private 6286696 Sydney Grindy of the Buffs
(Royal East Kent Regiment). He served with the 1st, 2nd and 5th Battalion
between 1937-45.
He was taken prisoner at Le Milliard on 24th May 1940. He was confined in Stalag XXA at Thorn (9/6/40 - 16/4/41) Stalag XXB at Marienberg (18/4/41 - 17/5/43) Stalag XXA at Thorn (27/11/43 - 23/1/45). He was also posted to the following work camps - Elbing Camp from 20/5/41 - 17/2/42 and Konitz Camp from 11/4/44 - 23/1/45. I am particularly keen to trace any members of the regiment who may have been confined with my father during this period.
I wish I had listened more to my father on the few occasions he spoke about
his experiences in the camps. Much of what I have read on the memories page
(which is excellent) I remember my father speaking about when I was young. I only wish I had been able to record this information, as many of the
contributors to your excellent memories page have already done.
As a family we are desperate to contact people - of any nationality - who
may have know my father during his time as a POW. Can any one help in some way or offer us some advise?
