Bdr. Murdoch Mackay

British Army Royal Artillery

from:Portmahomac, Scotland

Rowing team; Murdoch Mackay 2nd from right at top

My father Murdoch Mackay, nickname Mac, was in Stalag 383 between 1940 and 1945 after being captured in France. I believe he was a Bombardier or Lance Bombardier when captured and was later an Acting Sergeant. He spoke of being in the same camp as the actor Sam Kydd, but never really spoke of the war, as I think was typical of many ex-POWs. I have pictures copied from the family photos so if anyone recognizes someone please contact me as I would love to know. Similarly if anyone has photos with my father in then I would love to see them.

My father was always a very quiet strong man, very reliable and hardworking. I was 18 when he died, so I was really too young to have taken an interest in his war service. I am interested to know if there is anyone that knew him.
