He transferred to the Glider Pilot Regiment on the 1st December 1942 and took part on the D-Day landings on the 6th June 1944. Returning back to the UK he was briefed along with other G Squadron Pilots for Operation Market Garden the airborne landings at Arnhem. On the 18th September 1944 a Sterling Bomber tug dragged his glider into the air, his load been a jeep, trailer and members of the 1st Parachute Bn signals Company. Not far from the release point the Sterling was hit by flak and the tow was cut. The glider landed close to Randwijk. The glider was quickly unloaded with the help of local Dutch people. one of which took photographs, copies of these are included. Mounted onto the jeep the group headed for the main drop zone and joined the landing Brigade. Sergeant Thomas was captured around the 25th September and with other POW’s was sent to Stalag XIB. This proved to be a hellhole of a camp, the German Guards picking out the Arnhem captives for additional punishments. One case being the shooting of Sgt Hollinghamaged 22 GPR in front of Thomas; in Thomas’s own words “For nothing more than lifting his feet and not being able to run fast enough” Thomas moved to help his friend, only to be told if he did he would get the same. Conditions in the camp deteriorated in the 6 months Thomas was held here, then one day rumours flourished that the Russians were close. Hiding in the large baking ovens as the camp was evacuated he was able to escape. Seeing the Russians rounding up stray British and American POW’s and treating them in a similar way the Germans had, he made his way in the opposite direction. He eventually made it to Odessa on the Black Sea and returned to the UK. He remained with the GPR after the war and was finally discharged in February 1947. In later life he was a member of the GPR Association, membership cards etc included and corresponded with a number of Dutch people interested in the Battle for Arnhem. This correspondence is also included in the lot. Lawrence Richard Thomas passed away in 1995.
