Edwin JESTY - MILITARY SERVICE and POW record
Prodded by Mum and Becky finding these record cards in the National Archive And this screen shot which promises more from Ancestry when I rejoin. There are a number of extant artifacts: A small piece of paper smuggled out of Germany to notify the family where he was when taken POW. I believe Mum has this, an also: A small soap dish with scratched in details of the camps he was held in. A carved broach or pendant. Some tartan swatches and a cap badge from his regiment. I have a number of cap badges and ribbons which Grandad had placed in an envelope labelled “John Willy” - his name for me. A regimental history. UPDATE The returning POW interview form mentioned above
