WO Douglas Renton Greig
Royal Air Force
from:Newcastle upon Tyne
My father Douglas Greig was the rear gunner of a Wellington bomber and was shot down in northern France on 11th July 1940 (near the town of St Omare). He was the only crew member to survive their injuries and subsequently was a prisoner of war in Germany and Poland. He was in the camp Stalag Luft 3. The camp was liberated by the Americans in 1945. My father did not talk about the war much but some bits came through in his later years which I would like to share with this website. I have lots of photos etc to share and still have my father's dog tags displaying Stalag Luft 3 and his prisoner of war number.
