Hi,
I wonder if someone in the locality of the above churchyard would be kind enough to send me a photo of the gravestone of the above person?
I'm writing an biography of him for a forthcoming book.
He is actually from my home town and was a Major in the Black Watch during WW2. Captured at St Valery in 1940 he was held POW in Oflag IX-A/H, in Spangenberg Castle in north eastern Hesse in Germany, and attempted many escapes. After the war he was awarded the DSO and was Mentioned in Dispatches for inspiring other POWs to escape.
Any help will be fully acknowledged in our forthcoming book.
Many thanks!
