Pte. Benjamin Sawyer . British Army 2nd Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment from Warrington, Lancs Benjamin Sawyer was my uncle. He sent the attached letter to my father who had been injured in Italy just before Monte Casino.
In the letter he says that on the 6th of June 1944 on his 21st birthday he was shot in the leg disembarking onto the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He says it was a birthday present he wants to thank the sender for as he was put back on the boat and returned to England.

Pte. George Alfred Scaife . British Army 4th Btn, B Company Green Howards from Guisborough Like many lads from the North East of England Alf joined the territorial army in his home town of Guisborough. He was just 19yrs old when he signed up for military service in April 1939 and a after a brief spell of training left with the B.E.F to follow his brothers to France. He sent a letter to his sister on the eve of his departure which we have, in which he mentions that the king is coming to see the battalion before it leaves for battle.
He was injured at Dunkirk and taken capture by the Germans. He was sent to Stalag v111b and spent some time in Stalag v111a at Gorlitz.
We have many photos from V111A and postcards from v111b.
Like many of his P.O.W pals he didn't talk much about his experience of the war but we know he spent some time on the long march from the camp which took place at the end of the war.
He passed away in 2002 at 82yrs but was a keen member of the Green Howards Society up until his death.
