WWII - Colditz - autograph -Charles Edward Stuart `Lucky` Lockett remarkable autograph letter signed `Charles` to his wife in England written from Colditz Castle dated August 14th 1943 written in pencil on a pre-printed POW form stamped with both the German and British censor marks in fine condition. The letter provides a detailed insight into life at Colditz by one of its most notable inmates. He writes that he has sent his wife some photographs (not present) but describes their content: `...the footballers are a mixed bunch. The people who I discuss in my letters are front row right to left Allen our orderly Roger Heap who eats with us Peter Dollar who lives with Bader. Near the back with pipe Douglas Bader...I haven`t been down to the football field for a hell of a time due to stoppages of privileges or some other reason. The lack of games playing facilities in what is to be an all British camp is a disgrace...the French men get parcels from France which supplement their Red X parcels and take infinite trouble over their cooking. The result is quite amazing. A new Scotch doctor Capt Dickie has arrived and is messing with us he is as far as first impressions go an excellent fellow. I`ve seen quite a lot of him `cos I`ve had a couple of boils ...he lanced one with a razor blade 2 days ago ...` `Lucky` Lockett had a colourful war to say the least. An RAF pilot he was shot down over Sedan and taken prisoner. The rest of his crew were all killed. He made a number of escape attempts including making it on board a Swedish ship but the crew forced the captain to turn him over to the Germans - he thus ended up at Colditz where among his fellow prisoners was Douglas Bader. Lockett himself is credited with having been on the team which made the legendary `Colditz Cock` the audacious attempt to build a glider which was to have been launched from the roof of the castle in an attempt to escape. Letters from Colditz are becoming scarce.
