George Henry Bowman
British Army Durham Light Infantry
My father, George Henry Bowman, was a POW at Stalag XXB (he was part of the British Expeditionary Force captured at Dunkirk). He was a regular soldier in the Durham Light Infantry.
In the photograph of him in Stalag XXB, he is 4th from the right in the middle row. I would be delighted if anyone recognised him. He was also one of those who survived the long march, but didn't talk much about any of his wartime experiences, which I gather is a common trait.
