Re: POW photos

Hi Ed,

Thank you for your help, the website is brilliant so will try and e-mail some of the e-mail addresses that are there for other barrack members.

I am actually already a 49 squadron association member and they have given me lots of information. What I am interested to know is if the POW photos taken by the Germans of downed airmen were stored anywhere or simply lost in the chaos in the closing months of the war.

I know that Peter unfortunately passed away in 2008 and that he was living in Valpraiso, Chile. I never met or spoke to him as I didn't start to learn about this until mid-09.

I believe he was only ever in Stalag Luft 1 and that he was interrogated in Frankfurt for a while. Presumably after the war and de-mob he returned to live in Chile.

Many thanks,
Ashley
