About
John Singleton . British Army
My uncle Jack Singleton was captured in Crete he was with the 8th Army during the 2nd World War and held in Stalag 8b. Fortunately he was one of the better treated apparently as he acted as the interpreter between the Germans and the other prisoners. He was held until the end of the war and upon his release it took my parents and my auntie (his wife) almost 2 years to get his weight back up to what it should be. His name was John Singleton but we always knew him as Uncle Jack. Unfortunately he passed away in 1996 and his wife passed within 4 weeks of him passing.
JR Singleton . British Army
JR Singleton served with the British Army. I have his unissued dogtags, made in preparation for deployment to the Far East and would love to get them home to his family. I am happy to cover all costs. If you are a family member or can put me in touch with them please get in touch.

Flt.Sgt. Ken Singleton . Royal Air Force from Birmingham
My uncle Ken Singleton was held prisoner at Kupernikus in Stalag 357. I am his nephew and I am trying to build his story as sadly he has passed away. I know he was shot down on a bombing raid and that he and one other managed to parachute from the rear of a Lancaster. All others were killed. He was picked up by the resistance but after infection had set into his wounds he was handed over to the Germans. He was treated well and once better transported to Kupernikus. His prisoner of war number was 3210. He returned home after the war but like many spoke very little about it

Pte. Glyndwr George Sinnett . Welch Regiment
Cpl. Ted Sinnott . British Army South Lancashire Regiment from Widnes
My late Uncle, Cpl Ted Sinnott, born 1921, Widnes, Cheshire (then Lancashire) was taken POW at raid on St Nazaire, France 28/3/1942. Eventually transferred to Lamsdorf 8b/344 around June 1942 before transfer to Stalag XXA Thorun, Poland (1944) and eventually Stalag 357 Fallingbostel, Germany and liberation April 1945.
He served with South Lancs Regt. before joining No 2 Commando in late 1940 after surviving Dunkirk. It would be great if anyone reading this knew of my uncle/or about life in this camp, and could contact me.
Roland Sinton . British Army Green Howards from North Ormesby
My father, Roland Sinton served with the Green Howards. I know that he was in Stalag V111B as I have a stamped postcard, and he was back in England in November 1943. He told me very little of his wartime experiences other than the amusing stories, but I seem to remember him saying he was captured in France when shot, whilst driving an ambulance (at Dunkirk maybe?) I think he was a medical orderly in the POW camp. I would like to find out more.

L/Cpl. Frederick Charles Sipson . British Army 2nd Battalion, B Company. Royal Irish Fusiliers
My Grandfather, Fred Sipson, transferred from the 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment to the 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers on the 17/9/36 to the rank of fusilier serving with B Company and within 6 months earned the rank of L/Cpl. On the 3/1/38 he left the UK with the 2nd battalion to serve in Malta for 278 days and then on to Palestine in 9/10/38-29/3/39 for a total of 172 days.
He served a further 4 years 73 days during the Siege of Malta until 10/6/43 where the Battalion was then relieved and sent to Egypt to recover from malnutrition and their ordeal. Fortunately my Grandfather was not chosen to go to Leros and was sent home from Egypt to the UK on the 30/5/44 in the wake of that fateful day that saw the decimation of the Battalion as POW's to Axis forces. Back in the UK the 2nd Battalion was reformed from elements of the Territorial Army battalion of the regiment who had not already seen service however never again during the war was the Battalion to see action and spent the remainder of the time at home.
My Grandfather was then posted to the Infantry Training Centre in N.Ireland as permanent staff and spent many years as a training instructor, however my grandfather at the end of his posting had a growing family of his own and was requested to move back to the mainland UK, with the strain this would place on his family he decided to finish his full time service on the 17/9/59 having served 23 years and reaching the rank of Sergeant as the Army was his life he transferred to the Territorial Army the 5th Battalion Royal Irish fusiliers and continued training and administrating soldiers in the Banbridge Co Down branch until where he finally retired the Army on the 31/3/67 as a Colour Sergeant.
Wing Cdr. Alan Francis Moir Sisley . Royal Air Force pilot 550 Sqd. from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
(d.31st Aug 1944)
I am researching the Sisley family. It would appear that Alan Francis Moir Sisley was born in 1917 from the records I have managed to find. However I cannot trace a birth in the United Kingdom. Have you any record of where he was born? The CWGC records state he was of UK nationality. His wife was Josephine Mary Sisley, of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. I understand he is buried in Abbeville Communal Cemetery.
E. Frank Sisson . United States Army 667th FA Btn.
My father was Corporal E. Frank Sisson of the 667th F.A. BN with The First Army as ground support for the 82nd and the 101st Airborne under Gen Bradley at the beginning of the war. At the end of the war he was with the Third Army under Gen. George Patton. He fought in The Ardennes {Battle of the Bulge}; the Battle of The Rhineland; and The Battle of Central Europe.
During the Occupation he was Sergeant E. Frank Sisson assigned to the 559 M.P. BN. Headquarters Company. He was assigned a Jeep, an interpreter and the job of investigator until his separation from the Army on 25th April 1946.
When the war was declared over, he was on his first leave so he did not get to collect any of his personal belongings nor did he get to say goodbye to any of the men in his outfit.
As of 6th December 2003, he has never received any of his medals: A star for each of his battles, The Medal of Good Conduct, The Expert Rifleman's Medal, and his Purple Heart. Does anyone know how I can acquire these medals for him, or if it is possible to find lost WWII effects? Does anyone remember him?

Pfc. Thomas Skaggs . United States Army Coy E. 222nd Infantry Regiment from Louisville, KY
Thomas Skaggs Jr was my father. He was captured on 25th of January 1945 in an action associated with the German Operation Nordwind and was held in Stalag IX-B, Bad Orb. This was a notoriously overcrowded and under-provided camp. The prisoners of war there were starving to death, being given only "grass soup" to eat. The camp was liberated on 2nd April 1945 by a task force put together specifically for the mission of freeing the camp's prisoners. My father was within 24 hours of death when the camp was taken.
Tom Skaggs went on to flourish back in Louisville, Kentucky where he married Alice Kleier in 1949, became an electrician, and worked on sophisticated machinery in an automobile assembly plant until his retirement in 1984.
