I have just aquired the 39-45/War medal group to Pte 4197291 Fred Sheridan of the 7th battalion. He became POW before Dunkirk, and died of TBC while a POW.
He is listed as being held in Stalag 8b (Lamsdorf, now in Poland) and buried in Berlin War Cemetery.
One thing I am trying to understand why a man held in Lamsdorf is buried in Berlin? When checking on different sites I understand that men dying at Lamsdorf might be expected to be interred in Poland.
Does anyone have any information on this?
Kind regards,
Lars
