L/Cpl. Walter Whitehead
British Army Highland Light Infantry
from:Hyde
On the page regarding Stalag X1B there is a photo of troops being liberated at the camp gates. I am certain that the soldier on the right of the picture with his beret tilted back, is my Dad, Walter Whitehead, who was a bren gun operator, and taken prisoner on New Year's Eve 1944 near Fallinbostel. I would be interested to know if any of your contributors knew him.
