Rueben Summerhill was captured in February of 1943 at the Battle of Kassarine Pass in Tunisia. He was good friends with -- Deaton. They were separated at the battle, but reunited in Stalag 3B.

Just before the Russian Army liberated Stalag 3B, a Russian Sergeant made friends with Rueben because Rueben had shared food with Russian POWs. The Sergeant helped arrange for Rueben and a few others to take a firewood wagon out of the camp, escaping before the Russian Army held American POWs for barter power. It took Rueben three weeks of walking at night west across Germany and hiding in the day to reach the American forces.

He remained in the Army for his career, retiring in 1951 having spent 21 years in.

Can you help us to add to our records?

The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


Did you or your relatives live through the Second World War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial? Were you or your relative evacuated? Did an air raid affect your area?

If so please let us know.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Secomd World War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
