205053 Sgt. Graham William Porter Reid British Army 153rd (Highland) Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps from:Aberdeen, Scotland I have recently read papers belonging to my late father, Graham W P Reid who was captured at St Valery. He was in the 153rd (Highland) Field Ambulance RAMC(T) and a POW in Stalag XXa from June 1940 - January 1945. He was Camp Commandant and I have lists of many who were with him during that time and a diary of the time when they were released.
Like so many, he talked little in the 50s and 60s,except with local POWs in Aberdeen, but did begin to tell stories to our two sons in later years. I have read many of the stories from folk on this site, but have yet to find how to see the photos. Like one person says, he spoke of Camp plays with Sam Kydd.
I would so love to hear from others whose parents and grandparents may have been there with him and who might appear in his letters or on the lists.
