RSM Henry William "Harry" Lavender . British Army The Buffs from Cumitilery, County Monmouth My late father, Harry Lavender served in the British Army. I know that the information which I have provided is very sketchy but it's the only bit of information that I have at this present time. The reason why I'm trying to find out any information about my late father is that I am an ex regular soldier retired myself. The last known address of my late father where, I presume he lived, after having been demobed from the army was 68 Belasis Avenue, Haverton Hill, Teesside. Sadly he passed away in 1960. I hardly knew my father as I was quite young when he passed away and it would mean a great deal to me if I could find out anything about his time whilst in the army.
Editor's note: from his army number, we can tell you that Harry Lavender enlisted with The Buffs.

Pte. Henry William John Lavender . British Army East Kent Regiment from 133 Alma Street, Cumtillerey, Monmouthshire My late father Henry Lavender served with the Buff's (East Kent Regiment)
I'm trying to find out any information about his military back ground and whether he was awarded any campain medals whilst he served in his Regiment during his time in the Army. I have collated some brief information on line about his military career and also that he may have been a POW duering the Second World War and that he may have been in a POW camp in Poland (Stalag xxa and XXb). However, I have no information what happend after he was liberated and demobed from the Army at the end of the Second World War.
I presume that he returned back to his parent's home in Wales. His last known address I have for him is where he settled down into civillan life is where I was born which is 68 Belasis Avenue, Haverton Hill, Billingham, Teeside. But sadly he passed away in 1960. I can only just briefly remember him as I was very young when he passed away and it would be nice to remember him by and to know that he served his country.

Pte. Stanley James Lavery . Australian Imperial Force 2/28th Btn. from Western Australia As my father, Stanley Lavery told me:
The 2/28th Battalion was surrounded after successfully achieving the objective at Ruin Ridge, El Alamein on 27th-28th of July 1942, and were all taken prisoners by the Germans. We were transported to Benghazi where we were held for 15 days before being transported to Bari, in Italy. We crossed the Mediterranean on the night the Nino Bixio, another transport ship, was hit.
On the crossing I organised the men into groups and assisted with passing water down below and pee up on deck in buckets on ropes. At one point someone called out "is this bucket going up or down!" I replied, apparently in a "gruff" voice, "Taste it and see for yourself!!" (other prisoners reminded me of that story after the war). We were 30 days in Bari before being transported to Udine. I spent 4 months in hospital at Udine with pneumonia and the care by the Catholic Nuns was exceptional. After 12 or so months, when the Allies broke through in Italy, the Germans took us to Austria, Stalag 18A, Wolfsberg, where I was assigned to a workcamp, a brickworks at Trieben until the end of the war."
