He was then back home till 1939 and he was with the BEF in France from Oct 1939 to June 1940 when he was taken prisoner. He was transported to Luckenwalde, Brandenburg POW Camp and was there for the remainder of the war. He was discharged 21st April 1946 after serving 23 years 214 days. He told me that he was captured at Dunkirk during the evacuation he was pulled onto a ship and in the process his kilt had come off unfortunately the ship was shelled and sunk. He was then captured and sent to Stalag 111a.
