Frank S. Reade, Guilford.

[David Layne]

Flying Officer Frank S. Reade who gave his wartime address as 45 Mansfield Rd. Guilford, Surrey  was a crew member of 199 Squadron Wellington HF488 that was shot down by night fighter on operations to Düsseldorf, 25 May 1943.

Flying Officer Reade and my father were POW's together in Block 22 Room 3 Stalag Luft 3 Tarmsdedt.



There are 50 prisoners named in my father's POW "Wartime Log" and I am attempting to find a WARTIME photograph of each individual.  My efforts so far can be seen here,

I am hopeful that through this web site someone can help me find a photograph of Frank Reade.

With thanks, David Layne

Wow David what a little treasure you have with that log  and what a labour of love to research those names on your website...I take my hat off to you

Thank you.  I have made a couple more posts in different counties, hopefully something will turn up.

I am bumping this one up in the hopes that someone can provide me with a wartime photograph of Frank S. Reade.

A relative has posted a private tree on Ancestry - perhaps make contact?

I can't find any record of a Mansfield Road in Guildford, Surrey

There is a Manfield road in Ash.     

 Not that far out of Guildford but from what I remember it was often referred to as Ash, Aldershot, Hants (postal address only)

Have you located any other family in Guildford

Unfortunately I don't have Ancestry.
