Peter McMenemy

British Army Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders

from:Motherwell, Scotland

My Uncle, Peter McMenemy was captured and made a POW shortly after arriving in the battlefield. He was with the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders who responded to Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939-1945. A German MD nursed him back to health when the prison camp was abandoned and reunited him with the British. He moved to Coventry and stayed there, alone, until he died in the 1960's or 70's. He never really recovered from his ill treatment as a POW.

Update: He was probably in the 6th, 7th or 8th Battalion each of which lost many in the retreat to Dunkirk, between the 5th and 7th June 1940.
