This Web Page is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Arthur E. Adams of No.106 Squadron, Royal Air Force. Arthur was an Air Gunner on board a Lancaster Bomber which was shot down during an operational flight on the 26th July 1942. He was then captured and interrogated - and spent the remainder of the war in various German Prisoner of War Camps inlcuding Dalag Luft, Stalag VIII-B, Stalag Luft III and Belaria.

During this time, Arthur kept this Wartime Log to record his experiences as a PoW which included writing poems, letters, drawings and collecting photographs. On January 29th 1945, Arthur's camp was liberated by the Russian Army and he began the long journey home to England.

Arthur went on to live a long and happy life with his wife Wynne, 2 children, 3 grand children and now 3 great grand children. He eventually died at the age of 83 in April 2004. This site has been created by his family to share Arthur's experiences, thoughts and memories as a PoW.
