My grandfather was held at Stalag VIIIB Lamsdorf from 1940 until the end of the war. He was Sergeant Sidney Harrison, Royal East Kent (Buffs). I have in my possession the original postcard photograph that was sent to his wife to let her know that he was alive, uninjured and a POW. When I am able to, I shall scan and forward it to you.
