Hi folks,

My grandfather was interred in Stalag VIIA (POW Number 18637) during the Second World War. I am currently searching the 79th News (the magazine of The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders) to try to find some details regarding his service. The 'Big Book of British POW's' (can't recall the actual name!) has him as being in the RSF!

The family think that he was captured when serving in Italy.

I have sent a request for information regarding grandad to ICRC and have checked out Moosburg online. Furthermore, I intend to check out the RHF Museum (the descendents of the RSF) to see if there is any mention of him there.

If anyone on the forum has any details or can point me in another direction, I would be delighted.

Thanks in anticipation,

Roxy
