Cpl. James Duguid MM.
British Army att Gordon Highlander Royal Corps of Signals
from:Insch
(d. )
I am reserching the wartime history of my late Grandfather, James Duguid who served with the Royal corps of Signals attached to the Gordon Highlanders In the 51st Highland Division. He was captured at St Valery in 1940 (he was awarded the Military Medal for his conduct in this action)
He was a prisoner of war for the remainder of the war in Stalag XXB (20B)
in Poland.
We have very little information on either the awarding of the medal or his time in the camp. As like many of his generation he was reluctant to talk about his wartime exploits. I would be grateful for any information, assistance or memories anyone can provide. Many thanks for a very useful website.
