Harry Balderson (right)

My father, Henry Balderson, joined the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders 1st battalion on 19th July 1932, he died in 1996 and I am looking for any information about him, he was captured very early and was a prisoner of war until the war was over. I would like to know where my father was captured. I have the letter sent to my grandfather when he was posted missing in May 1940 the letter is dated 24/6/1940 it is from Infantry Records Office Perth. I do have a postcard with him (on teh right) and three other soldiers, on the back it is stamped oflag VII C gepruft, would anyone know who they are?
