THE AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT WAR DIARY OF THOMAS CLORAN, RAF WHEN A PRISONER OF WAR IN STALAG LUFT VII written in soft pencil (subsequently carefully written over in black ink by his wife) in a Wartime Log for British Prisoners issued by the YMCA, 116 pages (170 x 120mm) illustrated with drawings of camp life and his German identity card, an account of his bailing out of a burning Lancaster over France, capture and arrival at the camp, followed by occasional entries from 22 August 1944-22 April 1945 and the following few days, the last two leaves with details of his fellow allied prisoners, with his group of three campaign medals comprising 1939-1945 Star, Air Crew Europe Star and War Medal, in franked card box of issue, a wristwatch and album of press cuttings An extraordinary account of life in Stalag Luft VII in the closing months of the war. Thomas Henry Cloran (1913-1981) volunteered for the RAF in 1939. He was the navigator on board a blazing Lancaster bomber over France and bailed out at 02.15 hrs on 31 May 1944. Before doing so he noticed another of the crew who was crouching in the aircraft`s nose and had no parachute. Although both men were severely burned, Cloran told him to cling to his waist and they would jump together. Tragically the man eventually lost his grip and fell to his death. Two French women sheltered Cloran but, realising that he needed life saving treatment, handed him over to a German medical unit. In later life Cloran sought out the surviving woman, then of great age, who had been ostracised by her village in the mistaken belief that she had collaborated with the Germans over his arrest. A deeply religious man, he was born at Royton, Lancashire and as a young man moved to Bletchley, Herfordshire where he managed a butcher`s shop for the local Co-Op. Stalag Luft VII was opened in 1944 in what is now Poland. In September of that year the 230 RAF crew were joined by men captured at the Battle or Arnhem. On 19 January 1945, with the approach of the Red Army the Germans marched the by then 1500 prisoners, including Cloran, west, crossing the Oder and on 5 February put them on a train to Stalag III-A. There 20,000 allied prisoners were liberated by the Russians.
