World War Two / Re: WW2 POW

Hi

Thank you for that information, although I was more interested in contacting the first post, 'Jeannie Tel' as it appears we may well be related.  It is likely my grandfather went on to remarry and have children of which I am unaware.  That being the case Jeannie and I would be half cousins...I think

My parents moved to Australia in the mid 60's and other than some work trips to the UK my exposure to extended family has been limited

My uncles kept in touch with their father over the years but never mentioned any other family.  If you are out there Jeannie please contact me.

Hi,

My grandfather was RSM William Thornborough who was in stalag - 3 during WWII.  My mother had the book which spoke of him.  He was married to a Jessie Thornborough nee Slater before being missing presumed dead during wwII.  I understand he was captured at dunkirk.  After returning from the war he and my grandmother separated as she had remarried as he was presumed dead.

To my knowledge he had 3 surviving children, Barbara, Geoff and Peter.
