William Mackie
British Army Commando
from:Strathaven
My father, William Mackie, Commando was captured in Crete and from what I can remember was in Stalag 8b. He didn't talk too much about his war experiences but I can remember him telling me that he escaped through Poland to Russia and then home. The picture shows him sitting 4th from the right front row as you look at the picture. He is wearing an RAF uniform which was swapped to allow a pilot to escape as the Germans classed RAF personnel as more intelligent than Army. There is also a picture of his Commando Service Certificate. He sadly passed away in 1995.
