Alfred William Lapthorn . Royal Air Force 582 Squadron from Salcombe, Devon My father Bill Lapthorn rarely talked about his wartime experiences when I was a child. Only much later did I realise how much danger he was in on each and every mission flying Lancasters over Germany. He talked fondly of aircrew colleagues, many of them Canadians such as Tiny Beasley. I have attached some extracts from his Flight Logbook detailing the 13 ops he took part in, including being shot at over Germany and limping back to crash land at Manston in Kent.

Pte Fred Lapthorn . British Army Green Howards from Salcombe UK I have little information about my father's time in Stalag XVIIB.
I know he was wounded at Mareth Line. As he was a trained butcher, he worked in a butcher outside of the camp which must have made life a little easier for him. He made friends with a local Austrian family who had a son about the same age as myself named Peter Bochzelt. We corresponded with them long after the war ended and I met some of them many years later when working in Hungary. They were very kind and lovely people.
Father spoke very little about his wartime experiences and passed away in 1971.

Gdm. John Robert Large . British Army Grenadier Guards from Dartford, Kent My father, Jack Large, was captured at Anzio. He was one of 30 survivors of approx 300 Grenadiers who were killed in the landings. They were handed over to the Italian Army who illtreated them until the Germans put them in railway wagons to ship them to Germany. My father, with another Guardsman, broke up the wagon floor in the snow covered pass on route and escaped. They were recaptured and beaten then sent to a straff Kamp near Altengrabow. The name Gross Scheirstadt rings a bell. He lived in awfull conditions then as a slave labourer seeing others shot and murderd for the least thing. He was put working with 2 elderly German electricians who, risking death, brought him in a little food each day. He was beaten daily and at the war's end as a six foot two man, he weighed 6 stone. He then ended up in hospital with psycho neurosis. My mother often said he came back another person mentally they killed him.
