Hello Roger,

The June 8th date caught my attention right away as my Uncle was executed by Hitlerjugend with a group of mostly RWR's on that date in Normandy ... I have a copy of Conduct Unbecoming and "Lance Corporal Stewart Culleton" is listed in it on page 90, as one of the men executed in my Uncles group that day That chapter is all about the events of the execution in that field where your Stewart and my Uncle Ed happened. Heavy details

There is also a video put out by Cliff Chadderton, WarAmps, called "Take No Prisoners" about the executed POWS. Waramps sent me a complimentary copy because my uncle was one of the POWS:

I joined MLU a few years ago and below is a link to my fisrt post lookiing for information about my Uncle. Many MANY pages to slog through, but if you do, you might find out a LOT of info, and names and links to resources, you didn't know before. Please check out the last/latest new posts in the thread as they may interest you!!!

By the way, Uncle Ed has a bit of Lake named after him up by Flin Flon, Manitoba as well

I hope, and trust, that you'll find out a LOT of info and directions to more, through MLU .........
