208069 Spr. Isaac Lewthwaite British Army Border Regiment from:Whitehaven, Cumberland My Great Grandfather's brother Isaac Lewthwaite, of Whitehaven, Cumberland, served with the Border Regiment. He came back a broken man, he did not go back to his wife, before the war he had married into an Italian family, but due to his experiences as a POW, he said that the Italians were a cruel breed of people and would never forgive them for the way they treated them. He moved in to live with his brother David but became troubled and he drifted. His wife use to go looking for him, no one had seen him for about 2months then they found him dead in a derelict building, that was about 1947. Ive being doing my family tree and am finding snippets of info, to put a picture to the man.
