Hi, I am interested in the 4 OBLI and their experience defending Cassel. I think I remember Drew mentioning that Rev Wild has left some memoirs - can anyone point me in the right direction please? I have his book but this only deals with his experiences after he was captured. If there are other memoirs from those who served at Cassel I would be grateful for those as well, Thanks Mike
Hello Mike details of book below for forum members reference The Rev David Wild: Obituary Prisoner of Hope: Amazon.co.uk: David Wild: 9780863327117: Books regards Clive
file:///C:/Users/Computer/Downloads/Coulter1998.pdf David Wild, the Assistant Master and Chaplain at Eton College, was a Church of England priest who enlisted on 4 September 1939 as chaplain to the 4th Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, a Territorial Army Unit. He was captured on 29 May 1940: "Our total active service had lasted just over 15 days ... our humiliation was total. "531 So I would guess that most if his memoirs will be about his time as a POW - there are other references to him in the article plus I have not looked to see if his memoirs are mentioned appendix TD
