hi all, I'm looking for information regarding the Husbands Bosworth camp in Leicestershire, i have recently discovered this wonderful site and have found pictures of a few of my family members (Edek Merkis: uncle, Jadwiga Rafa:aunt and Janusz Rafał:uncle) also im interested in finding information regarding my grandparents Jozef and Wanda Rafal, i have recieved information regarding my grandfathers service from Northolt etc but not a lot of other information seems to exist. i would love to hear from anyone who may have known my family and could share their experiences with me.
Many thanks Tom Rafal

Hi Tom, I am not sure where you are based, but I live quite close to Husbands Bosworth. To my knowledge quite a few people were moved to Leicester when the H.B. camp was closed. You may wish to write a note to the Polish Parish Priest, and ask it to be included in the Parish Newsletter. His contact details:- Ks. KORDYS Tadeusz; dziekan dekanatu Œrodkowego w Anglii; 58 Bodnant Avenue, LEICESTER, LE5 5RA. UK. tel. +0044 (0)116 221 7006; Mob. +0044 07814 741 840. Should I bump into people that I know from H.B. I will try to get and send you their details. Good luck with your search. Tadeusz

Hi Tom I am sure you know your uncle lives in Leicester but just in case you were not aware of this I have asked a friend to contact him and hopefully he will be in touch. Zosia

Merkis and Rafał are family friends. I have known them since I was born and my parents were at the camp at the time.
If you email me on:
REMOVETHISANDTHESPACESm a r k b u j a @ n t l w o r l d . c o m
and I'll pass on your details to Jadwiga Merkis (Rafał)
They live not far from the Polish Church on Wakerly road.
