    The two officers were in charge of a POW (Camp 75) Northhill Laurencekirk from 1945 - 1948)

    Lt Col Richard G.E. Minchin January 20, 1901, Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland

    Looking at the British Army Lists on Fold3, I was only able to locate one Thomas Reilly. There is no record for the period 1939-45, that I could find. 3EDC8BFE-88E6-4830-A419-71AF880BE21A.jpeg

    I have posted an image, above of details.

    Thanks BFBSM . He was a POW camp officer in approx 1946/47 in Scotland. On a photo is his name and 20.1.91, so the image ties in.

    Minchin took over 1947 to 1948
