What an amazing amount of details also the photo’s of Keiths are wonderfully clear. I think he did well collecting photos at such a difficult time and managing to preserve them over the years.
As a son in law you personally should be congratulated in putting it together, well done you!
My dad was also interned at stalag V111b from 1941 to 1944 but I am sorry to say I have no photos or information of his time as a POW.
Thanks for your kind comments Ray. If your father isn’t one of the 23 Hampsons we have on site already https://www.prisonersofwarmuseum.com/prisoners/?s=Hampson please provide his name, DoB and ideally his service or POW number and any other details you do have on this link https://www.prisonersofwarmuseum.com/contact-us/ and we’ll be happy to add him.
