I found his IRC card for Ruhleben, but not that for Celle. Did anybody find it? GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted 26 July , 2021 Share Posted 26 July , 2021 Hi JWK, I fear you might have gotten the wrong man with the newspaper-clipping from Den Haag. I think it is a guy with the same name. He seems to have worked for the resistance in WW2: "Au n°70 rue de la Grande Ile à Bruxelles, habitait Albert DE BADRIHAYE. Voyageur de commerce et résistant, né le 10.05.1903, il fût arrêté le 12.08.1943" GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWK Posted 26 July , 2021 Share Posted 26 July , 2021 Ah, but his Wikipedia says that he married Auguste Richter ? "wo er seine spätere, aus Breslau stammende Frau Auguste Richter (* 15. Dezember 1894; † 7. November 1969) kennenlernte. " And yes, there are two Albert de Badrihaye's in 2 World Wars. WW1 is Albert I, WW2 is Albert II Albert II got engaged in various "clandestine" operations agáinst the Germans. Born in 1903, he was executed on 26 feb 1944. https://stolpersteine-guide.de/map/biografie/2495/de-badrihaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC Posted 27 July , 2021 Share Posted 27 July , 2021 (edited) In the middle the Englisch private secretary of the (German) count of Albania. He kept a journal (the secretary) from which stems much of what we know today about this camp. A thoroughly researched paper on Celle castle as POW Camp (in German) was published by Hilke Langhammer in the book Celler Chronik 22 in 2015.

SusanN Posted 27 July , 2021 Author Share Posted 27 July , 2021 Thanks Russ, That’s a great photo of the prisoners at Celle, sadly my grandfather, who would only have been 19 is not on it, they all look well kept at this stage. The link to the website which has more photos also helps to give an impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanN Posted 27 July , 2021 Author Share Posted 27 July , 2021 I found this from the author Hilke about the photo on this Great War forum… 2013 post on Anglicy ..English prisoners of war in the courtyard of Celle castle…. Standing 4th from left: Capt. Duncan Heaton-Armstrong, Private Secretary of Wilhelm zu Wied, Fürst von Albanien. Sitting 3rd from left: named in a french newspaper article (Le Miroir) "General B."

JWK Posted 27 July , 2021 Share Posted 27 July , 2021 A video about the guy in the fancy uniform (Capt. Heaton-Armstrong) and his fotoalbum of Celle Schloss. https://www.museumsfernsehen.de/kurz-mal-reingeschaut-der-kriegsgefangene-duncan-heaton-armstrong/ Can't quite find whether that fotoalbum is in the same museum (Bomann Museum, Celle), or whether it has been digitalised.
