Pte. Andrew Valentine McGougan
British Army Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Dunoon
My grandfather, Andrew McGougan, was fighting with his brother Jack at Dunkirk. My grandfather was a young man as he lied about his age to go to war. They got split up in the melee. My grandfather was caught and got marched to Poland where he remained a POW for the remainder of the war. My great uncle managed to get back to the boats and cross the channel back to England. Apparently he got a clip around the ear for not looking after his brother.
