Pte. Frederick Bates
British Army Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
In this photo taken in 1942 of the Argyll soilders, my late Grandad Private Fred Bates is right in the centre of the middle row. He survived the war and lived till 1986. From paperwork my mum has shows he was captured in Italy and I know he escaped along with a few others when the camp was bombed by mistake by the Allied Airforce. He was captured again later in the war but I don't know the details. He was discharged at the end of the war.
