237669 L/Cpl. Andrew Corbett Mavor British Army Royal Signals from:Glasgow My father, Andrew Mavor, flew into Normandy in a Dakota on D Day. He was a signals para assigned to the Canadian troops trained in the UK. The plane was hit. They went down over Villiers sur Mer and Gonville, Normandy. The survivors found themselves in enemy held territory with German troops all around. My dad stayed free for 5 days and then was captured and marched and trucked around until arriving at Stalag 4b in August. While there he met a magician who taught him well.... my dad later became a member of the Magic Circle. He was freed by Russian troops on 23rd of April 1945. Additional Information: | I have found out that immediately after his capture, my dad was held prisoner in a school (in Pont L'Eveque, Normandy) that was taken over by the germans. Jean Synclaire
