When you said you found a card was it John Helm?

I refer to John Helm Army Number 5674198. He was in 2/5 of the Queens Royal (West Surrey) Regiment in WW2. He was born in St Helens Lancashire on 19/5/1919. From National Archives I know he was a POW captured in Abbeville, France on 21/5/1940 and taken to Stalag XXA. From Ancestry I know he spent time in Stalag 383 (Prisoner Number 5741) until his liberation in 1945. I also know from Ancestry that he was demobbed on 15th July 1946. Forces War Records hold 4 x records but I cannot access as not a member. Just wondered of these records provided any more additional info e.g. date he joined? When he was moved from XXA to 383 etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jo,
Yes my daughter-in-Law is Helen. Very sad about Val she is now in a care home in Westbury (where Helen & my son live). Helen would love to see the photo. Probably best communicating by e-mail *. By the way does Helen know you?

Jo,
My daughter-in-laws Grandmother was Gwendoline May Hope born 18th April 1920. She married William Goring from Preston and lived in Preston. William called her Gwen. It was Gwen who told my daughter-in-laws mother that Ethel always thought that Alfred would return and lit a candle in the window. I have been researching my family tree for quite some time and she recently asked me to undertake some research for her. A transcript of the marriage certificate would be great as it would save her from purchasing a copy and if you would be willing and could somehow forward a copy of the photo of Alfred that would be super. Are you on Ancestry? I will have a look to see what I can unearth and if I find anything let you know. Thanks Phil

Hi,
My daughter in Laws Great Grandfather was Alfred Hope. Her mother told her that he went missing and that her Great Grandmother never gave up and thought he would one day return. Have you got any near solving the mystery?
