Pte. Billy Colkin

British Army 7th (Airborne) Btn. Kings Own Scottish Borderers

from:Hinckley, Leicestershire

My uncle Billy Colkin was a member of the 7th King's Own Scottish Borderers and after volunteering for the airborne training went to the south of England for glider training. I also heard that when they retreated which was over some water, he could not swim so stayed to protect the wounded, he was captured and I believe he was kept in a detention camp.
