Biographical information
Husband of Mary Elizabeth Donnell, who died 29 October 1998, aged 73. She is buried with Cyril.
Private Donnell was reported missing 18 May 1941, and was confirmed as a POW 1 July 1941 (his army record says "Prisoner of War. Greece."), POW number 4253. When transferred to Oflag IIIc, he was given POW number 1527; this seems to have reverted to 4253 at Oflag IIIc at a later date (possibly when Oflag IIIc was renamed Stalag 383). AWMM
