Named to: 1431 British Constable G. Stewart, Palestine Police. Sold with the P.O.W. Confirmation and the roll for the Palestine Police service.
George Stewart was captured in France serving as a Private in the 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry and was held at Lamsdorf Camp (Stalag 344, Poland) POW number 595 and joined the Palestine Police on 10 February 1947. In January 1945, as the Soviet armies resumed their offensive and advanced into Germany, many of the prisoners were marched westward in groups of 200 to 300 in the so-called Long March or Death March. Many of them died from the bitter cold and exhaustion. The lucky ones got far enough to the west to be liberated by the American army. The unlucky ones got 'liberated' by the Soviets, who instead of turning them over quickly to the western allies, held them as virtual hostages for several more months.
Many of them were finally repatriated towards the end of 1945 though the port of Odessa on the Black Sea. The Long March was during the final months of the Second World War in Europe. About 30,000 Allied PoWs were force-marched westward across Poland and Germany in appalling winter conditions, lasting about four months from January to April 1945.
It has been called various names: 'The Great March West', 'The Long March', 'The Long Walk', 'The Long Trek', 'The Black March', 'The Bread March', but most survivors just called it 'The March'. It has also been called 'The Lamsdorf Death March'.
As the Soviet army was advancing on Poland, the Nazis made the decision to evacuate the PoW camps to prevent the liberation of the prisoners by the Russians. During this period, also hundreds of thousands of German civilians, most of them women and children, as well as civilians of other nationalities, were making their way westward in the snow and freezing weather and many died. January and February 1945 were among the coldest winter months of the twentieth century, with blizzards and temperatures as low as –25 °C (–13 °F), even until the middle of March temperatures were well below 0 °F (–18 °C). Most of the PoWs were ill-prepared for the evacuation, having suffered years of poor rations and wearing clothing ill-suited to the appalling winter conditions. Condition: Good V.F.
