b.ali Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sputnic I am here still sitting in my little chair thinking about that horrible place.I do remember alot of those names and many more not mentioned who were there at the same time.Frank Skinner,Brian Ali, Terry Battle,Janet Bradbury and her sister.as sputnic said i was in stalag 17 opposite the swings.I dont think that any one of those so called foster mothers were nice.the one in question in number one reminded me of a STOAT with a bowel problem.I havent been on the forum for a while,its like i need to keep coming back to f.c.h.thread,maybe its slowly coming out of my system after all these years. hello glen this is brian ali here just registered on the forum read your quote mentioning me and frank skinner.haven't seen him since i left, wonder where he is now.but have heard from rex though about 6 months ago ,he helped me get onto another forum site,he now lives in the orkney's, get in touch soon as would love to speak to you . b.ali (ps.anyone else who remember f.c.h in the years 1944-1952 please contact me aswell.)

brian1941 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My Dad was in FCH from 1940 til about 1952. He won't talk about it as he has blocked it out of his memory. He was in No6 with Miss Lindsey. He was one of the Lindley brothers, his brother Les was always running away and I believe he was in No 2 cottage and his other brother Mark was in No 3 cottage. I would appreciate any info anyone has or if anyone remembers the brothers. Thanks ------------------------------------------ hi penster,--------just looking in threads i notice lindley brothers, i new a roy lindley in no6, jet black hair, sort of tanned kin, would that be your dad, he was in f.c.homes same years as me.
