    Hi All,

    Bit of a cheeky request really.

    I have an entry in the times for 22/10/1940 for a group of POW's. (including my grandfather)

    One of which I don't have any POW details for. (I'd not noticed before)

    Can anyone with access to a list of WW2 POW's please have a look to see where he is?

    see attached.

    I believe his service number is 3126483 (but there are lots of McDonald's in a scottish regiment!!)

    thanks in advance

    Iain

    Marvellous!
    thanks Steve.

    I don't know how I missed him before!

    I believe he might have been in charge of the group that escaped from the Ypres-Comines canal on the 27th and joined up with the 51st.

    before being captured at St Valery.

    thanks again

    Iain
