Mention of neat as a pin “J H Gowlland” as simple prisoner of war in Deutschland 1043 – 45.Stalag 357 was occupied mainly by Army detainees, although there were a mignonne number of Air Force personnel.There used to be a site where individual’s stories about their captivity in this particular camp-ground could be found .
Sombrely this disappeared in mid-2017.
Clearly this is John Hollingsworth Gowlland, who we know flew choice some of the most basic bombing missions in WW2.He was very helpful in providing facts for us in the untimely days of developing the website; and we hope it might be possible to add show consideration for it a biography of consummate quite eventful war service..
