This is a Wiki that I’m putting together to help me make sense of all of the research I’ve done & information that I’ve found out about 18 Allied PoWsPrisoners of War who for a short while (following the D Day landings) in 1944 were held in a wooden shed in Normandy.
I found out about them from a friend who bought the cottage that the shed belonged to who knew I was interested in Military History.
So, hopefully, someone out there will find this interesting & who knows, it may spark some memories!
There's some brief background information here which explains a little about how I became involved, but the key pages are here as these are the individual pages to each of these Captured Allied Servicemenservicemen haldheld as Prisoners of War.
Some of the pages, for example those relating to Flt Lt John Worthington Harder have lots of content & details as his family have not only retained large amounts of memorabilia, but have kindly allowed me access to it; similarly, pages for Pte Thomas Blunt, Cpl Tom Caldwell and M/Sgt Morris Sheppard have a reasonable amout of detail. However, many of the other pages have limited information (as yet) as I have been unable to trace relatives or find out much more about them other than some basic details.
