Pte. William George Pow . British Army Royal Gloucestershire Regiment from Bristol My mother used to talk about her Uncle Bill, who she had a great love for, and the fact that he was a prisoner of war in Malbork Stalag XXB, PoW number was 11917.
She and his son Keith, told me that William escaped several times during his detention.
My mother also told me that because of his surname Pow, most of any correspondence was never received by William because they thought they were looking for a William George (POW)and not William Pow. He did end up getting his letters but not until the time of the march. He survived the War and went on to have several children, preferring the outdoors than the indoors.

Sgt. David George Powell . British Army 53rd Reconnaissance Regt from Cwmdare, S. Wales My father spoke very little of his time during the Second World War. But I remember at his funeral several of his "old pals" recalling his capture of some Germans single handed in a cellar. They laughed as they recalled hearing his loud voice shouting at them .... He was a drill sergeant. He went to several reunions in S'Hertershenbosch ... Where the locals looked after them royally.
My father really liked the Dutch people and mentioned how they had helped himself and others whilst under severe stress themselves. We should always remember these wonderfully courageous young men who gave so much of their lives for us. I am so deeply proud of my Father and I thought he deserved a mention, no matter how small. I have photos and will post them as I find them.

Lt. Edward John Powell . United States Navy USS Boise from Kansas City, USA My 2nd cousin, Edward John Powell, known as Jack was born in 1911, and emigrated to the USA in 1913 as a small boy, with his parents, Edward and Matilda Powell, and his three older sisters, Vera Gladys, Doris Irene, and Marjorie. All members of the family were born in Monmouthshire, South Wales. Jack's father (an accountant) had received an inheritance in 1912 from his uncle, who was a resident of Kansas City, and that was where the family eventually settled.
During World War 2 Jack served on USS Boise as a Lieutenant, and all my information about him was passed on to me by my late aunt, so the information is rather limited. He was known to serve in the Pacific, and was aboard USS Boise, when it escorted General MacArthur.
After World War 2, Jack settled in California, and was still unmarried in 1948, when his father went to live with him. I have no knowledge about him after 1950. If anyone knows anything more about Jack Powell, I would be most interested to hear, as I may also have living descendants of this side of the Powell family, still in the USA.
