World War Two / Re: POW in Stalag XXB - advice please
« on: Tuesday 10 September 19 20:49 BST (UK) »
Hi all I’m new to all of this research business and was wondering if anyone could help me find out a little more about my grandad.
His name was Matthew Parkin and the info I have is as follows.
Camp M Stammlager XXB (stalag 15)
K.G.F. No 8480
He was in the Argyll and southerland highlanders and was sent over with the expeditionary force. He was sent to Belgium and was chased to farm house where the Nazis caught him. He was sent to the camp and after 4 years collapsed and after a near beating the commandant sent him to the camp doctor who said he had angina. The German doc said he should never have been enlisted! Anyway he ended up being repatriated in 1944 due to his ill health.
So just wondering as I can’t find any records on line, also I’m not sure if I can get a copy of his medals sent out as they got lost years ago.
Thanks in advance for any help.
