I have just been looking at your website and for my father-in-law.  I see his name is not registered but can confirm he was at Stalag VIIIB Lamsdorf.  Please see attached a letter written from Stalag VIIIB.  I have other photos from the camp including a photo of a hand with four fingers, not sure what this meant as we did not find the photos until after George died.

I wonder if you could add this name to the list of POW’s.  We understand he was repatriated later on.  Look forward to hearing from you.

In  the photo below, George Hampton is marked with a cross above his head, back row

Editor’s Note: The letter from Major Ashton shows that he was repatriated in 1943
