My uncle Frank Lightbown, died on board the S.S. Lancastria off St Nazaire, France. It was reported by a friend who survived, that Frank was probably asleep below decks when the ship was bombed.

George Edward Lilley .
My grandfather George Edward Lilley was in Stalag XXIA from 1942 to 1945. As he passed on in 1978 and I was only 12 at the time I have little infomation on his life as a prisoner of war, but I do have three years worth of Red Cross newspapers that were sent to my grandmother, while he was in the camp. These contain all sorts of information from the camps all over the Axis-held land, also details on what next of kin can send via the Red Cross (knitting patterns for gloves,hats,socks and scarfs) also recipes for cakes and other food stuffs and how to package and preserve them. Within the papers are also letters home from prisoners in the camps with photgraphs. If any one has any infomation on any one who was in Stalag XXIA with my grandfather it would be nice to share any infomation and photos.
J. Lilley .
I have in two letters from Stalag XXA, one from a J Lilley, the other from a George Hatt. The letters were never delivered to the family, but I found them at a stamp auction in Canada. If anyone knows of the families of these 2 men I would like to forward the letters on to them. They may be 60 years late getting there, but would be good if they arrive at their rightful home.
