Ldg.Torpedo.Op. Robert Tervit . Royal Navy HMS Nigeria My father Robert Tervit was a Leading Torpedo Operator on board the HMS
Nigeria, and was demobbed in 1945. He used to tell my brothers and me of
how they were torpedoed, and had to find refuge in Charleston S.C. for
repairs Prior to serving on the Nigeria he was with the Med Fleet aboard
the HMS Troubridge.
This is a great site and a greater tribute to the men who went to sea in
defence of their country and way of life!

Lawrence Albion Thatcher . British Army Parachute Regiment from Dover,Kent (d. ) Lawrie Thatcher was my uncle, he has now sadly passed away. He was a very proud man, especially concerning his time in the parachute regiment. He was captured at Arnhem and sent to Stalag ivb, until liberated by the red army.He would never have too much to say about the bad times as a pow, but would often talk about his regiment with pride. He gave me a handmade box many years ago, inside is the inscription "captured at Kos, 04/10/43, O.G.Huntley, Stalag ivb Muhlberg", obviously some sort of trade or friendship was involved here. Does anyone else have a similar box or items?

Pte, Leonard Walter Thatcher . British Army Royal East Kent Regiment from Bexhill My grandfather, Leonard Thatcher served in the Buffs and was Territorial Army before the war.
I know he was in the Expeditionary Force and was captured at St Valery. He then was marched to Poland and was kept a prisoner at Stalag viiib.
From what I remember my dad telling me, he worked in coal mines during his time in the camp. At the end of the war he was returned home by the Americans but reading online I have noticed that if that was the case he would have been involved in the Long March the Germans forced POWs to do at the end of the war? Like many he didn't talk much about the war to my father and never fully recovered health wise.
Any info would be great.
