Information provided by Chris (Billy) Gibbons:

My father, Chris Gibbons, was imprisoned at Lamsdorf. He was captured at St Valery on the 12/06/1940. He was, for some reason, moved around various camps but ended up at Stalag VIIIB.
I have his identity tag from another prison camp, I think from Fort Rauch, Poznan, and on it it has the inscription’ StalagXX1B’ and his number ‘10568’
