Pte. John Rathlin Muir
British Army 4th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Helensburgh
(d.20th May 1941)
While researching the wartime story of RAF Helensburgh, Scotland, I came across the death of Private John Rathlin Muir who died in Stalag XXa on 20 May 1941, a member of the Seaforth Highlanders. His dad, same first names, was barrack officer at Helensburgh when he was informed of his son's death, 'cause unknown'. I am trying to find out more about Private Muir's death. I understand he had a military funeral at the POW camp. Any feedback much appreciated. Robin Bird, author/journalist, who also wants to do an obituary story for the local paper in Helensburgh.
