He died in 1979 without ever telling me anything about his time in the prisoner of war camp other than he worked on a farm.

If anyone out there has anyone whose dad may have known my dad I would be grateful for any info you have can you let me know. Thanks for any help.

Rfmn. William Harry Edward "Midge" Payne . British Army 2nd Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps from London (d.25th May 1940) William Payne was part of the Calais Force sent to defend that town to the end, having been told that no attempts would be made to evacuate them. He was one of the something like 300 who died there and he has no known grave.
My researches indicate that the leading elements of the 10th Panzer Division that took Calais were Panzer Grenadiers armed with flame throwers.
The KRRC were in and around the old Citadel that the Germans totally destroyed.
The fact Midge has no known grave and the use of flamethrowers would seem to be connected.

Sergeant Ronnie Paynter . Britishh Army 10th Battalion Highland Light Infantry My father, Ronnie Paynter, served with the 10th Bn Highland Light Infantry during the second world war. He was proud to have served in this fine Battalion, which he fondly referred to as the Best Scots Regiment full of Yorkshiremen.
I recall stories:

how he hated the skirl of the pipes.

hiding booty never to be found again.
