World War Two / "The Great Escape" Stalag Luft Survivors
« on: Wednesday 21 July 10 21:20 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information about the WW2 POW survivors of the Great Escape, specifically if any returned to live in Kent outside Canterbury.

I have been told from a local resident that a one legged survivior lived in my house after the war, this came to light when I was researching the history of my house.

Canadian help wanted to find out more about my Gt. Uncle Fred Rothwell aged 24 and Gt. Aunt Annie Rothwell aged 26 in 1912 when the emigrated to Toronto from Newchurch Lancashire England They left Liverpool on 15th March 1912 aboard the “Victorian” destined for Halifax and Toronto.

I know they visited England in 1915 and returned to Toronto in May 1915 but nothing after that.

I have a few postcards they sent to my Grandmother from Toronto. They may have settled there and had family? or moved on, he was a Butcher by trade.

I’d love to find out more and would greatly appreciate any help on how to go about this.

Many thanks
