213637 Archie Broadfoot British Army Glasgow Highlanders 9th Highland Light Infantry My Father, Archie Broadfoot, was a POW in Stalag 8b for the duration of the war. He was captured I believe on the way to Dunkirk. He was serving with the 9th HLI Glasgow Highlanders, although he wore a Black Watch uniform?
He was forced to labour in the mines, then he took ill and was given "light" work in a sawmill. As the war came to an end, he and some others went their own way to try and get home. He tells the story of eventually being picked up by the Americans somewhere on the Czech border, though he can't remember the unit. If anyone can help with information regarding the above people or places it would be appreciated.
