Hi Chris ,
Think I'll call you lightning....

I was just about to ask for the scan.

Hi Gary .
I'll look through my resources and see if I can find a Bundy
family refernce to any Arms..

What Chris has posted is the crest . The whole thing is the Coat of Arms of which the crest is a part.
Cheers Grandad james

Thanks very much for your help everyone, I will do as you suggest.
Now...if only I could find a valid Bundy Family Crest

Hello all, can anybody reccommend a source for looking up a prisoner of war's details -

Just a thought - try the MOD War Pensions . I seem to remember seeing an article that they hold the original POW cards made out by the German Forces. You have to be next of kin to make the request (so I understand).

Good luck

Stuart

The following............

IF YOUR REQUEST CONCERNS A SECOND WORLD WAR PRISONER OF THE GERMANS OR ITALIANS.
We do have a list of all British and Commonwealth POWs held in Germany and Italy, including the name of the camp to which they were registered in March 1945. A copy of their service record can be obtained from the MOD, see 2) above. We have also discovered that most of the German POW record cards are now held by the War Pensions Agency, address above. If you ask them nicely they may supply you with a copy of the card.

I know my Grandmother was living at 152, Woolfall Crescent in Huyton, Liverpool before and during the WWII. I was just hoping to find out if any of the Chiocchis (She was Alice Jnr) still lived there.

I have just replied to a message on the Liverpool mailing list about this name -  was that you who posted there?

Incase it wasn't.

The above web page links to  a map of Italy showing the occurances of the Surname within each province.

Liverpool has quite an Italian Community and you might benefit from looking at the
Anglo Italian FHS web page http://www.anglo-italianfhs.org.uk and perhaps joining us?

I have recently read a book by Howard Reid called Dad's War.

The book is the author's personal trip to Italy following in his  father's (Ian Reid)  footsteps based upon a diary & journal kept by his father during the Second World War.

Ian Reid was in a Prisoner of War camp in Italy. He escaped (and was recaptured several times), but was supported and protected by many  Italians, during what was a very difficult and insecure time. - The book is excellent for descriptive details of rural Italy during this time.

Having enjoyed Howard Reid's book I have obtained a copy of  his father's original book which was published in 1947.

Prisoner at Large by Ian Reid published Futura 1947
ISBN - 0 8600 7360 2

Dad's War by Howard Reid published Bantam Books
ISBN - 0 553 81554 7[/b]
