Cmdr. John Wallace Linton VC, DSO, DSC.. Royal Navy HMS Turbulent (d.23rd March 1943) John Linton was killed in action on the 23rd of March 1943, aged 37. He is commemorated on in the Portsmouth Naval Memorial in Portsmouth.
He was the son of Edward Maples Linton and Margaret Gertrude Linton; husband of Nancy Kate Linton.
The citation in the London Gazette of 21st May, 1943, gives the following details: From the outbreak of war until HMS Turbulent's last patrol, Commander Linton was constantly in command of submarines, and during that time inflicted great damage on the enemy. He sank one cruiser, one destroyer, one U-boat, twenty-eight supply ships, some 100,000 tons in all, and destroyed three trains by gunfire. In this last year he spent two hundred and fifty-four days at sea, submerged for nearly half the time, and his ship was hunted thirteen times and had two hundred and fifty depth charges aimed at her. His many and brilliant successes were due to his constant activity and skill, and the daring which never failed him when there was an enemy to be attacked.

Pte. Jack Lintott . British Army Royal and West Kent Regiment I have been trying to piece together the war years of my father for his grandchildren's sake. He was Private Jack Lintott, Royal and West Kent Regiment (now deceased.) He was captured in France before Dunkerque and after a series of transfers (I think road building in Austria where I believe he escaped ended up in Stalag 8b. He didn’t talk much about the war and sent his medals back (which we acquired). From the sketchy info received he was the wireless builder and as a watchmaker was apparently kept on the surface. He had very bad arthritis from severe frost bite as he took part in the Lamsdorf death march. My Dad was extremely good at languages and learnt to speak German fluently which I subsequently learnt from him, he also had a command of Polish. I would be interested to know where he was caught as I think it was in the Defence of Escaut at the Foret de Nieppe around May 15th 1940? I have photos of the camp and area as well as camp money.

I was in the Italian Campaign and fought at Monte Cassino (the first patrol that went to the monastery was from my regiment - 12 Podolski Lancers) - and on the Adriatic Coast (Ancona etc).

Pte. A. Lishman . British Army 6th Btn. Cheshire Regiment A Lishman was a POW and was one of many POWs who were on a train on 28 January 1944 having been evacuated in anticipation of the Allied advance. They had mainly come from Camp P.G. 54, Fara in Sabina, 35 kilometres to the north of Rome. The Orvieto North railway bridge at Allerona, Italy, became the site of the inadvertent bombing by the American 320th Bombardment Group. One of the men on the train, Richard Morris of the U.S. Army, wrote that the train was halted on the bridge over the river when the Allied bombs started to fall, and that the German guards fled the train, leaving the prisoners locked inside. Many escaped, Morris included, through holes in the boxcars caused by the bombing, and jumped into the river below. Historian Iris Origo wrote that 450 were killed when the cars ultimately tumbled into the river.
He was Captured at Garigliano. He survived the wreck uninjured and was sent to Stalag 344 Lamsdorf

John Turnbull Lishman . British Army Royal Signals from Aberdeen, Scotland My father, John Lishman, very seldom spoke about the war but he was injured and I think it could have happened in the POW camp. I seem to recall him saying that he was captured by the Italians and then transferred to a camp in Germany. From his service book it states that he was captured in the Middle East on 21 June 1942. From the Records office it states that he was in Stalag IVA in Hohenstein. His war disablement records stated that his disablement was due to "gunshot wound left leg with compound fracture of tibia and fibula with involvemnt of ankle joint"

Flt.Lt. Miroslav "Tony" Liskutin DFC.. Royal Air Force 145 Squadron Miroslav Liskutin was recently reunited with his Spitfire, MK912 which is still flying, out of Biggin Hill. He is now in 2015 96 years old and in fairly good health. An amazing man with an amazing background. On D Day he flew from Tangmere on invasion cover, and when he had to make an emergency landing to re-position equipment which had been dislodged by enemy fire, he was probably the first aeroplane to land in France during the invasion.
