Pte. Andrew J. "Sonny" Jablonsky . US Army Medical Corps from New York Most of my family has passed on, so finding information about my uncle, Andrew Jablonsky has been difficult. I have found that his surname has been spelled incorrectly.
It should be Jablonsky but is listed as Jalonsky.
He was in the Medical Dept. of the Army and was reported as a POW on 19th of September 1943.

Pte. Ebenezer Chisholm Leitch "Abie" Jack . British Army 5th Btn, 11 Pl, B Coy. Seaforth Highlanders from 18 Colington St, Glasgow (d.16th Jun 1944) We have many letters from the front from Uncle Abie Jack to his loving sister Flora Henderson
He speaks of many things but all are about his family, and all give us a tear, but the most wonderful and heart breaking is a letter sent to his Father from 2/Lt Patrick H Grant
It tells us he was a bren gunner a great solider. A cheerful and popular member of the community. It tells of his death during a bombardment
He speaks of the loss to both family and platoon and tells of how he died with honour, a soldier's death and that he was buried in a little country church.
It even speaks of how his personal belongings were removed, all but a silver ring on his right hand that he must have treasured.
Uncle Abie served in Africa, Italy and took part in the Normandy landings, all with the Seaforth Highlanders

He was transferred from Stalag XXA to Stalag XXB in October 1941 and worked in a farm in Steinhendorf, I think, it says until 1942. He worked in a number of farms Hockszehern being one of them.

Next day a telegram arrived to say that he had been shot accidentally at his barracks. William died on the 14th November, 1943. His body was brought back to my aunt in N.

Pte. Alfred Henry Jacks . British Army 1st Battalion Rifles Brigade from White Chapel, London Alfred Jacks was in this prisoner of war camp and we found photos on the internet of him with lots of other people. He was taken prisoner in Calais and was a prisoner for 5 years before returning home. One of his friends that we know of was Jimmy who was also in the photos and returned home with him, he also had a bird which he trained and some people used to call him 'Jack Sparrow' as his nickname. He never spoke much of his time during the POW camps but he started to write a book but suffered nightmares due to his experiences so unfortunately never finished it. He was awarded 6 medals including the 'Dunkirk' medal as he and his company stayed behind to allow the other soldiers to comeback on the boats during Dunkirk, 'Operation Dynamo' in May 1940. He was missing presumed dead for a year after his capture. He has just recently passed away aged 93. And he left behind his two daughters, 9 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren. There is so much more to say but for now we would like to see if anyone remembers him and has some information, particularly Jimmy if he is still with us.
