241205 Pte. David Christie British Army Kings Own Scottish Borderers from:Glasgow, Scotland My father-in-law was in the Kings Own Scottish Borderers, during World War 2, as an airbourne soldier in a glider, he was part of the Market-Garden, Arnhem, Netherlands.
He was captured at this time, and sent or marched to to interned at Stalag X1-B Fallinghbostel, Lower Saxony, Germany. He was evacuated at the end of the war, and in 1950s, he immigrated with his wife and two sons to Toronto Canada then moved to Los Angeles, California.
I only wish I had asked him more about his service record, as we all seem to do of our ancestors, usually we are so busy with our own family situations, time goes on and now my husband David and I would like to know more about his record during that time.
