Our Freedom: Then & Now | Letters Home: George Loudon | Motherwell Library

As part of our Our Freedom: Then & Now project join our archivist to learn more about George Loudon and his letters held in our Archive collection. He served as an engineer with the Royal Engineers, was captured in May 1941 and sent to Stalag XVIII-A. From his letters home we hear about his time there, his thoughts about his fellow prisoners, his fiancée at home and finally his escape in 1944.
