Sgt. Hugh Watt MM.
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Aldershot
My father Hugh Watt, Hugh Watt was captured at St Valery in Normandy about two weeks after Dunkirk in 1940. He was a prisoner in Stalag XXB for the remainder of the war, liberated in 1945 by U S forces. He kept a diary which describes his capture and march and transport into Poland. Much of the diary has been lost but the remainder is lodged in the Imperial War museum.
It would be interesting to discover more about the camp, prisoner conditions and activities, also any photos that may exist.
