Remembered Today:

Brutality to POWs

I have just discovered 'The Times Digital Archive' (1785 to 1985) which is proving to be quite addictive!

As a result of a search for Norfolk Regiment men I came across this item in the 22nd May 1917 edition.

CWGC provided details of the man named Biggs who is buried, like so many who died in German captivitiy, at Hamburg.

I couldn't resist looking for the last resting place of Petty Office Davey of HMS Maori whose bizzare death is also mentioned. Can't find anything though - anyone any thoughts, please?

Pretty gruesome reading.

It seems to be working again OK. Lost it at 9:45 this morning.

Worth finding a copy of:

"No Heroes No Cowards" by Hawtin Mundy

He describes various POW experiences.
