Add Information to Record of a Person who served during the Second World War on The Wartime Memories Project Website

231639 Pte. Langley Robert Ernest Shearer British Army 4th Battalion Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry from:41 Magdalen Road, Oxford (d.12th Apr 1945) My Uncle, Bob Shearer was taken prisoner after the Battle of St. Valerie and remained in custody as a POW for the remainder of the war. Bob was killed, believed by friendly fire, following the exodus when the Soviet Army advanced towards Germany. He died with his friend by his side and was later interred in Hanover Military Cemetery. I have visited the grave but would like to know more about him. He has been described as a likeable figure who used to entertain the family with the spoons. I was born in 1942 therefore never met Bob. It is believed that Bob at one time served with Scottish Regiments on being captured, but this information is rather vague, though possible. Any information about him would be appreciated no matter how seemingly insignificant it may be considered to be.
