My father was Arch Riley – he was a Flight Sergeant shot down on his first Spitfire mission in 1943 – and spent the next 28 months as a POW.
He ended up at Lamsdorf – and was on the death march which for him started on January 22 and ended at Stalag 90 in Bad Sulza on March 15 (1945).
I have no record of his registration numbers, but he was in 485 squadron. He survived the war and died in 1978 aged 64 – having been in fairly poor health for some years.
