Gilbert and Pierre Roughol |
All pictures were taken by Pierre (my grand uncle) and Gilbert Roughol (my grand father). We don't quite know how or why they ended up in the same Stalag VII A together, something we thought the administration of camps was trying to keep separate. Here are some excerpts on both Pierre and Gilbert.
Gilbert Roughol:
Taken prisoner in Cornimont, France, on June 20th 1940, he arrived 5 days later to the temporary camp of Neu-Brisach in Elsass under the number 66798. After 3 weeks there, he was sent on July 23rd to Stalag VII A in Moosburg, where he arrived on August 2nd under the number 44098. His name was published on the official list of French prisoners on January 31st 1941, as follows: Roughol Gilbert, 29 février 1908, Paris, 1ere classe, 8eme Train, Stalag VII A Though we have no trace of his actual work in Stalag VII-A, noticeably his assignments to Arbeitskommandos, he fell gravely ill during his time in Moosburg, and he was liberated due to his sickness on November 24th 1942
Pierre Roughol:
Pierre was taken prisoner in Granges sur Vologne, on June 26th 1940. His stay in Germany was somewhat more chaotic. First sent to Stalag VII-A on July 27th 1940, Pierre was then sent to Stalag VII B in Memmingen on August 15th 1940 and assigned to ArbeitsKommando 1055 (not sure what this one did); but his arrival there was only recorded on September 6th. He was then sent back on November 4th 1940 to Stalag VII A again, and stayed there until November 24th 1942, when he was freed at the exact same time as his brother Gilbert.
