About
Glyn James Parker . Army Royal Engineers
My father, Glyn James Parker, was at Teschen, Stalag 8B, POW No 6811. He was a driver with the Royal Engineers, captured at Dunkirk, and was held until March 1945. I would be very grateful for any information from anyone, as he did not talk a lot about his imprisonment at Stalag 8B. Alan Parker

AC. Horace Parker . Royal Air Force 97 Squadron from Bretby, Derbyshire
Horace Parker served at RAF Coningsby with 97 Squadron. He always liked to recall King George VI's visit to Coningsby and his inspection of the squadron. Noticing that one airman's top tunic button had become undone, the King wanted to impose a 7 day sanction on the Airman but struggled to get the words out properly, struggling with the seven, solving this by eventually doubling it to 14 days.

Driver James Parker . British Army 384/909 Company Royal Army Service Corps from London
My father Jim Parker was RASC. he served in North Africa and did a stint in the LRDG.Palestine 1940/1943 then BNAF Sept/43 to Oct/44. I tried to get him to the Tobruck cementary to no avail. Just before he died in 1994 I promised to visit the cementary at the Sangro River for him.... quote ' I left a lot of my mates there ' at last I am going June 2009, to say thanks to all those men that were my dads mates but didn't come back as he did He wasnt one for reunions but often wondered what happened to certain people, I dont know where he met up with them or what nationality ,as many sons and daughters like myself know Dads didnt talk much about the war. In the desert he drove a large lorry painted yellow known as the Yellow Peril. I was very close to my father and cannot equate war doings with the gentle man that I knew. I doubt there is anyone alive now that knew him but if anyone has mementos that include my father's name please contact me.

John Wyndham Parker . British Army from Pontypridd, South Wales
My grandfather John Parker rarely talked about his experiences during POW camps in WW2 though I know that he was captured when fighting in North Africa and travelled in a ship for days where he was squashed in with many prisoners in horrendous conditions. He was taken to a camp in Italy but escaped. He was then caught and was sent to Stalag 4b POW camp. He was given a translation book which includes a phrase: "Please may I leave the camp?!" which as children (lacking understanding) we found funny. He said that the Italians were really dirty in comparison to the Germans. He said he survived the camps because he did not share his spoon with others. I believe he was in the camps for about 5 years in total. He died in 1991 when he was 80. We are so proud of him.

Pte. Randolph Parker . British Army 1st Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment from Leicester
(d.14th June 1944)
I am trying to find as much information as I can on my Uncle Randolph Parker. He was killed in action in Burma on 14th June 1944. My Dad tells me that they were notified he had been injured, however the information I have been given so far is that there was no known body, therefore no grave. However he is remembered at the Rangoon war memorial. Also I only have one photo of my Uncle, is there by chance anyone out there got any photos that they could share with me?

While at Stalag Luft I, I was the publisher of our underground daily paper `Pow Wow'. I would appreciate hearing from anyone in the 445th.
