In response to Captain Kenneth Wood, re. Doddington camp. My parents were located there after the war. I lived there untill I was five years old. My father was a coal miner and we moved to a new house built for miners in Madeley. We moved to Canada in 1958.

Sorry to leave yet another, non Stoke and Staffordshire message! We need a Polish community board like this in the North East.I'm looking for Polish families in Newcastle to take part in interviews about their experiences of life in the city. I'm a PhD student at Newcastle University. I have a blog called Newcastle's Polish Families, so please contact me there, or find me through my university profile. Please also get in touch if you are interested in my research in any way. Many Thanks.

Hello, I just started a facebook as well. My fathers name is Michael Prokopczuk.

Babette Gallard
Could anyone tell me if they, or more likely their family, were refugees in WW2 and fled to Lisbon (where they may or may not have been issued visas).
I am trying to find out about my mother and her post war activities. Has anyone heard of Nell Schramm, born 1931 and qualified as a nurse At Georges, London? During WW2 she fled, with her parents, to Mauritius, via a number of other countries, and latterly settled down in London, assuming British nationality in 1952. Before this she went to school in Tunbridge Wells.

Piotr Pawel Lewicki
For me and for his grandchildren, I am trying to put together my father , Piotr Pawel Lewicki's story. he escaped from Poland in 39 through Romania, served briefly in France, Iraq , Palestine, North Africa( Carpathian Brigade), and later in the Independant Parachute Brigade. He was` born in a village near Saleschacky, in the Eastern Provinces, in 1920. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who's father or grandfather had a similar experience but especially from anyone who might have served with him -- a bit of a vain hope, given the passage of time. If anyone can point me to an association or individual who might be of assistancer I will be most grateful. Kind regard, Piotr Lewicki.
