Harry Dalby
British Army 1st Btn. Black Watch
My late grandfather, Harry Dalby, was a POW in Stalag XXA. His POW records have been translated and they give 2.K Batlingen, Batlingen 20 and Reigersfeld as work camps. My grandfather, while in one of the camps, had what can only be described as a large hankie or part of a sheet with his battalion's badge and two soldiers in Highland dress on either side of it. This was drawn (possibly in ink). It also has HEYDEBRECK written on the top, which I believe is Batlingen. We do not know who made this for him, so if anyone knows who did or has information about it, I would like to hear from them. He was in the 1st Battalion The Black Watch (51st Highland Division) and was captured at St Valery on 16th June 1940.
