I have another name for your website.  The airman’s name is W/O. Jack Maurice Lyall service number R97377. POW no 27648. He was shot down and bailed out of Stirling R9145, 214 Squadron on 1st/2nd March 1943 on an operation against Berlin and captured at Hamburg on 2nd March 1943.
 
According to his POW questionnaire he was interrogated at Dulag Luft between 4th and 11th March 1943 (and spent 4 days in solitary confinement) before being sent to Stalag 344, Lamsdorf. He remained at Lamsdorf from March 1943 to January 1945 when I believe he went on the Long March. He then spent a week at Gorlitz in February before ending up at Stalag XI, Fallingbostel in April 1945.
 
He suffered from dysentery and malnutrition due to’ lack of proper food on the march.
 
The questionnaire notes he suffered from dysentery from March 5th to April 22nd, 1945, and malnutrition from March 15th to April 16th 1945 
 
I would be keen to know when he left the camp…. he marked as ‘n/a’ when asked if he had witnessed or endured any war crimes.
