Cpl. William John Wilson
British Army 51st Highland Div. Gordan Highlanders
My grandfather, William John Wilson, was a Corporal with the Gordon Highlanders (51st Highland Division) and was captured at St Valery in northern France in 1940.
After the war my father recalls seeing a book of memoirs based on the Gordons' time spent at Stalag 383, possibly written by Willie Kemp. The book has been lost for some time now, and I would be grateful for assistance in locating a copy of the book.
