Cpl. Albert Edward Newnham . British Army Royal Fusiliers from Greenwich My grandfather, Albert Edward Newnham, was POW No.127932 at Stalag 7a Moosburg (Isar).
I'm trying to find out where he was a POW before this, as this was his second camp. My mother (his daughter) thinks it was in Italy, but is unsure. She suggests he was interned with a lot of Russian troops, but again this is only a possibility.

Dorothy Jane Newnham . US Army Air Force First Interceptor Command from Mount Airy, PA Dorothy Newnham was a member of a civilian force that scanned the American skies for enemy aircraft during World War II, she served very quietly in the Army Air Forces' First Interceptor Command. The civilian volunteers, mostly women, were trained to spot planes entering American airspace. They were looking for bombers thought to be capable of ranging far from enemy bases.
On the East Coast, they worked from thousands of observation posts from Maine to Florida. When any planes were spotted, the volunteers would note the type and heading, and phone in the details to a secret regional Army Filter Center.
Volunteers plotted the data on large regional maps in windowless rooms, using plastic figures in the shape of planes. From balconies above the maps, officers of the Army, Army Air Forces, and Navy watched the markers move across the country.
Miss Newnham's job was to take the messages through headphones and plot the airplanes on the map. She worked in a building in Philadelphia but never revealed - even to family - where the building was or exactly what she learned.
Once, when she bumped into her mother coming out of the building, she made up a story to cover her presence there. A secret was a secret, she told her great-niece.

He had a long service in the armed forces. Despite suffering serious wounding and shell shock in army the First World War, before being transferred to the Royal Air Force, he re-enlisted during the Second World War and served with the Royal Engineers. His father also served during WW1.
His much younger brother Gerard was killed at age 18 during the Battle of Crete when his ship HMV Fiji was bombed by enemy action in 1941. His father died in 1940.

Pte. Theodore Keith Newport . NZ Army 20th Battalion from Wakefield My Dad was a pow in Stalag 8 (I think ) He was wounded with damage to his right elbow, I know 100% they wanted to amputate his arm but one German surgeon insisted they try bandaging flies over the wound, the maggots feeding on the decaying flesh. Dad kept the arm with it set at a 90degree angle with wastage but still had limited use. His POW no was 8778 . Any info, photos or direction where to start looking, just anything would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
