Hello there. I want to find out as much information as possible about my great uncle, Edward Laughlan of the Royal Engineers Airbourne division. He was rescued in Dunkirk but then retrained as a parachutist and was captured and held in the Stalag ivc. As many POWs, he found it difficult to speak of his experiences so we know little. He has left me: a newspaper cutting of him being rescued from Dunkirk, a badge with a Pegasus on it, a leaftlet published by 'n.v.gooi en sticht, hilversum' entitled 'de zang der kerk' with Stalag ivc stamped on it; and small book published by kevelaer butzon & bercker with lraaf ons bidden printed on the spine. Some of the lettering may be incorrect because the book has worn with age. If you can give me any information about the book/leaflet, camp or the division he was in/ his number, I would be very grateful. If anybody knew him, that would be fantastic. I have been reading this website and it has been both fascinating and humbling to gain an insight into the heroism of the soldiers of WWII. Kind regards, Janine Murphy
Janine, welcome to the forum, can i suggest that you amend the title to include POW and airborne so that the relevant experts pick it up
