    Hi Owen,
    the Ukranians who created the Chapel would have been members of the S.S.Galicia Division Captured in Italy. They were allowed to settle in the U.K..
    There's a swathe of them buried at Cannock chase, along with a well-maintained memorial.

    Back to my post... Have sent for his records but I'm only at the start of the long wait. Just want to try and find something out a little sooner. The family do have a picture but it is back in Ireland with the Granny. She told me how he used to bring back toys made by the POW's

    I remember a German P.O.W. who worked at a farm near us. He made a toy of a wooden chicken pecking. The chicken worked by a weight suspended under a board and as the weight moved the articulated chicken pecked at the board.
