Williams & POW Camp Memories of WWII...

"My grandfather, Abner Williams (1907-1984), had a farm just south of the POW camp. My father, Monty Williams (1936-2005) and his brother, Pat Williams (1940-2004)had a 'foxhole' next to the road and when the Germans walked by on their exercise walks, my dad and uncle used to 'shoot' at them with their toy guns. The soldiers would play with them by shooting back. My grand-dad had some stools that the POWs made at the camp, that he got when the camp was closed. I wish I could have gotten one of them when he died in 1984. I never thought about them though. I remember driving by that smokestack all the time on the way into town. My dad had quite a few stories from those days." -- Jim Williams - EMAIL: jimw@ou.edu   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
