Ivan Prytulak . Polish Army from Ukraine My father Ivan Prytulak was Ukrainian, but served in the Polish Army, as Western Ukraine was under Polish rule.
He was captured by the Germans, on his way to defend Warsaw, on the banks of the River Vistula, around October of 1939. After spending six weeks in a POW camp in Ostrowo, Poland, he was transported to Neubrandenburg Stalag No. 2A. His camp no was 19318.
He must have been one of the first to arrive, as he wrote, they were building barracks, so he slept in tents. I am translating my father's autobiography from Ukrainian into English.

F/O. Harold Kenneth Pugh . Royal Air Force 640 Squadron from Western Australia (d.18th April 1945) Flying Officer Harold Pugh was a farmer from Mt Barker in Western Australia. A talented academic and sportsman he was dux of the Muresk Agricultural College.
Harold was a pilot in the 640 Squadron based at Leconfield. He lost his life when his plane crashed into the North Sea on 18th of April 1945.
His son, Neil Pugh, was only 2 years old when his father was killed and has never had any personal effects of his fathers. Two weeks ago a trunk was uncovered on the family farm in Mt Barker, Western Australia. It contained Harold's personal effects that were sent home from England after his death. The trunk was presented to Neil having laid unopened for 72 years. There was many special items in there that Neil will cherish. It also contained a letter Harold wrote on learning that Neil had been born.
We would very much like to reach out and make contact with other relatives of the 640 Squadron. In particular we want to know the names of the airmen who flew and died with Harold on 18th of April 1945. Harold also received a Caterpillar Club pin so we assume he bailed out of a disabled bomber at some stage and lived to tell the tale.

Gdsmn. Philip Charles Pugh . British Army 5th Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.11th Aug 1944) Philip Pugh was born in Birmingham in 1921. When the Second World War broke out, he felt it was his duty to enlist, and so joined the Coldstream Guards. Philip had met a girl from South Shields who was called Louisa Cummins, and who had left her home town to help in the war effort and was working in a Birmingham munitions factory. After a short romance, they were married on the 26th of December 1941.
On the 11th of August 1944, five days after the Normandy landings by Allied forces, Philip was killed. He is buried at Calvados in France. A sad note to add is that Philip's wife was pregnant, so he never got to see his child, who was born shortly after he had been killed.

Rhoda Puig . Women's Timber Corps from Cricklewood Our Nan, Rhoda Egan (nee Puig) was also at Culford (nr Bury St Edmunds) felling trees for use as pit props for the mines. Nan remembers having a toothache when she first arrived, and being sent to get the tooth pulled out that same week. She also remembers catching her foot with the axe during the summer and resting in the nurses station. Nan often organised a coach back to London for other girls who wanted to go home for the weekend. She remembers Kay Beer (who married a Canadian), and being taken to visit a mine. She says she was given slips of paper in lieu of part of her wages, that could be cashed in after the war, but that she lost quite a few of the slips.
Nan is now 88 and lives in Norfolk.
