James Riley
British Army
from:Macclesfield
My Grandad James Riley was one of the first paratroopers to jump at Arnhem but was captured and sent to Stalag X1B. Unfortunately, I never knew him as he died in 1965 when I was one. My dad has no photographs of him and has little information or memories about his life.
My daughter is completing her family tree for a school project but would like to tell James's story. I would be grateful if anyone who knew James Riley could contact me and let me know a little about him and his life.
