Sgt. John "Seonaidh An Bhig" Robertson
British Army 4th Btn. Cameron Highlanders
from:Broadford, Isle of Skye
I am keen to find out more about my grandfather's war time experience. John Robertson was captured at St Valery, part of the 51st Highland Division. He spent the rest of the war in Stalag XXA working on a farm. Apparently on liberation of the camp by Russians he was taken to Odessa. It is thought that the Russians mistook him for a German as he had no papers on him.
