Sergeant Stanley Patterson . RAF VR (d.25th May 1944) During the second World War the Allied and German soldiers, who were killed in Goirle, Noord Brabant, the Netherlands and in the neighbourhood, were buried at the Roman Catholic cemetery from the parish St. Jan in Goirle.
After the war the remains of the German soldiers were reburied in Ysselsteijn (near Venray) and most of the allied soldiers were reburied in Bergen op Zoom (War Cemetery and Canadian War Cemetery) and in Leopoldsburg (Belgium, War Cemetery).
At this moment there are 27 Allied graves in Goirle. Every year we commemorate the victims of World War II, both soldiers and civilians. We know their names, but who were the persons behind the names? What were their lives before they died? Where did they come from? How did they die? Under what circumstances?
It is my intention to give the victims a face, to write and keep the story behind the gravestones because we always will remember the soldier who died for our liberty. We can forget names, but not faces. I will try to write down all their stories for the next generation so they will know who was commemorated.
Maybe someone can help me with Sergeant Stanley Patterson, RAF 1553418, an Air Bomber who died on the 25th May 1944, age 21.
Send me a letter or an e-mail with additional information, a photograph or a copy of any personal document, which I can use for The Memory Book or a website. Thank you in advance for your help.

Pte. Charles Edward "Jack" Pattle . Royal Engineers from London My father Charles Pattle survived the sinking of the Lancastria. He didn't talk about it much but did say that he helped a friend who couldn't swim by pushing him in and making sure he held onto some driftwood. He spoke about the Germans shooting at them as they swam to safety. It was obviously too painful a memory to discuss at length. I wish I had a photo of my father in uniform, so if anyone's relative knew my father and has a photo I would love them to get in touch.

Horace Leonard Pattle . British Army Royal Observer Corps from Stowmarket, Suffolk I remember my Dad, Horace Pattle, going on duty atop the hill outside Stowmarket, Suffolk, binoculars slung over his shoulder, bike clips round his trouser legs, & I think he wore a navy-blue beret. We had all learned to recognize the silhouettes of the planes when they were caught in the searchlight beams. We learned them from the black bakelite models my Dad was provided with. My favourite was the shiny Spitfire. I remember the day the model planes arrived with a man and his dog, a liver-and-white spaniel named "Boofas" (Boofas made good use of the flower planter at the end of our driveway,and of his master's car tyre) My mother might have been a bit scared and lonely on the evenings my Dad was on duty but she didn't show it to us children. We survived the air-raids and "doodlebug" bombs and when peace was declared I came downstairs the next morning stating "Well, if this is peace, it's not very exciting!!" Ungrateful child!!

PFC. Donald Max "Bud" Patton . US Army 3rd Battalion 414th Infantry Regiment from Los Angeles, California, USA My father Bud Patton, would never speak of the war to me, except the funny stories. His unit found and raided a costume shop. They donned the various costumes and were marching down the road when a high ranking officer in a jeep happened by. He was stationed in, according to his DD214 as it currently known, the Rhineland, Northern France and Central Europe.
After his death to cancer in 1987, my mother informed me that he had spoke very little of the war to her except to tell her that he was a liberating American soldier in one of the death camps for the Jews. He did mention seeing a young and once beautiful woman who was floating naked and pickled in a large life sized container of some sort. This sight must have greatly impacted him. I am attempting to document as much as I can for a story I am writing in his honor and for the men who also participated in this story.
I am trying to track down where this might have been. The only info I can come up with the 414th that was assigned to help out with the liberation of Nordhausen and the Dora-Mittlebau camps in Germany. Does anyone have any information that could help?

T/SGT Jack D. Patzke . United States Army Air Force 347th Squadron from Bly, Oregon (d.8th April 1945) My Great Uncle T/SGT. Jack D. Patzke served with the 99th Bomb Group 347th Squadron in Italy. He flew 33 missions as radio operator/gunner, his first was on January 1, 1944 and his last was April 30, 1944. On his last mission their B-17 42-32014 Pappy Yokum was hit by fighters all crew members bailed out. They were captured sometime after. Stalag Luft 3 is where they were sent. He stayed in barrack 72 and room 2 his POW number was 4323. I found out that he took to boxing as a recreation. When the camp was evacuated and the POWs were forced to march, sometime between Moosberg and Nuremberg he left the column with two other POWs. It was figured on April 8, 1945 is the day he was killed along with one of the other POWs. His remains were found sometime in 1949 and then brought back to the States in 1950.
I am hoping to find an ex-POW or a family member of a POW that might have some information on Jack. I know some of the POWs wrote diaries of the times in camp and about friends. Any information would be helpful.
