Pte. James Ironside McPherson

British Army 5th Btn. Gordon Highlanders

from:Aberdeen

Dad, James McPherson was interned in Stalag VIIIa worked in a Glass factory and claimed to have stopped the production by instead of closing a slide on a shute he opened it up fully thus overloading the system stopping production. Also, only once told me that the Germans experimented with TB on him. Not sure if this was the cause of him having one lung removed after release. After the war married a nurse from the local hospital he was treated. Worked as a farm servant, drystone dyker and latterly driver handyman. Father to four sons who are all proud of him.
