my grandfather was in the 51st Highland Division he was captured as his group was ordered to stay put and defending the retreating lines needless to say he was a guest in the German pow camps for 5 years after Dunkirk and spent most of his time in Poland at stalag xxa
it was 4 years before my grandmother heard news he was still alive by hearing word from a local women whose husband was prisoner with him and managed to get a letter to them somehow
interesting information though it gives me a insight into how his company would have altered over time
