Could you possibly add my grandfather’s name to the list? His name was: William George Beechey (sometimes Beachey)
He was in the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry and I think he was captured at Dunkirk. I have a copy of a photo of him on entry to Stalag VIIIB, and also an original POW letter written on his birthday in 1942.
He entered Stalag VIIIB on the 14/06/1940 and then was detained in Stalag XIB on the 24/02/1945.
