210974 L/Cpl. Denis Edlington Coulthread British Army 11th Scottish Commando Royal Scots from:Doncaster, South Yorkshire My father, Denis Edlington Coulthread, was on the famous Rommel raid and was Geoffrey Keye's batman and bodyguard. He got caught after the raid and taken pow and taken to Stalag 344 Lambinowice, Poland pow no is 220922. My father never ever spoke about his past as I was very close to my father not knowing he had a bayonet scar the shape of a letter "s" on his back. When my father died, my mother gave me a published book that was presented to my father in 1957 signed Elizabeth Keyes and it is all about the Rommel Raid and her brother, Geoffrey Keyes, my father is also in the book called "Get Rommel" by Michael Asher. I was 21 years old at the time and just could not believe the history about my father. I wish I had some photos of him in is younger days but only have one of him aged 60. I would love to receive any information on my late father.
