Sgt. William James Hands
British Army 3rd Battalion. Black Watch
My father was Sergeant William James Hands of the 3rd battalion Black Watch Tyneside Scottish. He was a prisoner of war for 5 years, first at Thorn in Poland and then marched to Hohenfels in Bavaria at Stalag 383. I have a 3 year diary which he kept also various photographs including some of his dance band "Bill Hands and his Blue Rhythm Boys".
