Col. John Fenwick Lovell Gwatkin-Williams . British Army 8th Army My father John Gwatkin-Williams was Commander of Moreton-on-Lugg towards the close of war. He was taken off active duty and put in to run the camp as there had been much disturbance in the camp and the POWs had been restless. He was very successful and the POWs presented him with a ship-in-a-bottle which they had created for him and which we still have.
I would like to know much more about the POW camp and am unable to learn very much (I live in Australia). My father was son of Capt Gwatkin-Williams RN, author of 'Prisoners of the Red Desert' and 'Under the Black Ensign'.

Sgt. George Gyves . British Army RA HAA My father, Sgt George Gyves (RA HAA), was captured on Crete in June 1941. I know he was in Stalag V11a (Moosburg) during 1942 as we have postcards from him. We also have postcards dated June 29 and September 15 1943 from Stalag V111b (Lamsdorf). He was on the Death March that commenced on January 1945.
Unfortunately, he was very poorly when repatriated to the UK and died on Oct 25 1946 age 39. If anybody recognises a fellow POW from the photograph or has a related story, I would like to hear from them.
