Gdsmn. James Wedlock

British Army Scots Guards

from:7 Home Farm Row, Hamilton

James Wedlock enlisted in the Scots Guards on the 8th of April 1940. I am a 2nd cousin to him, and am still researching his military service. What I do know is that he became a POW at Anzio in 1944, and was incarcerated originally at Stalag 4B for 1 month, February to March 1944. He was moved to Stalag Thorn 357 for a period of 5 months from March to August 1944. Finally interred at Fallingbostel, also named Stalag XIB from August to April. Upon his liberation in April 1945, he reported that he suffered from pneumonia for 6 weeks during his incarceration.

He married Margaret Gormley during his service in 1941. James is the son of Richard Wedlock and Elizabeth McMillan
