I have a letter from the infantry record office dated 6th August 1942
stating that my father Pte. Reg Watson (No. 4122505) of the Cheshire Regiment was posted as missing on the 28th - 29th June 1942.
I have a photo of him taken inside pow camp 73 taken on the 28th Oct.1942
this was sent to my mother who lived in North Staffordshire.
A detailed report can be found in the journal of the 22nd Cheshire Regiment
' The Oak Tree' titled, Tarhuna - Under Two Flags, 1947 . (pages 158-162.)

Is there anymore Geoff as your Father doesn't appear to have been a P.O.W. in Germany in 1945.
