Private Bernard Francis Ricketts

Army 2nd Battalion, 16th Platoon, D Company Highland Light Infantry

Does anyone remember Bernard Francis Ricketts, my dad, who was a prisoner at Stalag 11b, liberated 16th April 1945 with the appearance of tanks of the 8th Hussars? Or do you know anyone who was in his regiment: 2nd Battalion Glasgow Highlanders, the Highland Light Infantry, 16th platoon, D.Coy?

Forward platoons of D Company were taken prisoner and sent to Stalag 11B, Fallingbostal. His best friend's name was Cassidy, also held at Stalag 11b, and also served in the same regiment.

Please, if anyone knows any info on my dad, his regiment, or Stalag 11B I would be truly grateful.
