Pte. Eric McIntyre
British Army Seaforth Highlanders
My father, Eric McIntyre, was in the Seaforth Highlanders during WW2 and I know served in Egypt. He was also in Gibraltar. We have photos of this and I also have a letter from the BBC to my mother when she went to London for a broadcast to the forces in Gibraltar.
I know my Uncle Robert McIntyre was also in the Seaforth Highlanders and was a prisoner of war, moved on a train which I believe was bombed as it was a munitions train, he escaped and walked across the Italian mountains
