Hi,

It's worth while going to this website. The chap who runs it was extremely helpful with a query I had and there's a fair bit of information on the site:

Hi my granda was also captured at Arnhem, he was first sent to Stalag XIIA this was a transit camp then they would be sent to different ones.  My granda spent the rest of the war in Stalag XIB, Falingbostal that camp had a majority of men captured at Arnhem so I would guess your rellie would have ended up there.  Hope this helps you.

Thanks for that info. I have sent away for his service records but i dont know if it will give the name of the camp he was at. I 'm going to have a look at stalag XIB now.

Hi David
The Parkers came from Thirsk ,Yorkshire. Then County Durham after 1901
Hudsons in County Durham, Hetton-le-hole area. Could be from Yorkshire & Ireland not absolutely sure of this yet.
