I have a letter from the infantry record office dated 6th August 1942 stating that my father Pte. Reg Watson (No. 4122505) of the Cheshire Regiment was posted as missing on the 28th - 29th June 1942. I have a photo of him taken inside pow camp 73 taken on the 28th Oct.1942 this was sent to my mother who lived in North Staffordshire. A detailed report can be found in the journal of the 22nd Cheshire Regiment ' The Oak Tree' titled, Tarhuna - Under Two Flags, 1947 . (pages 158-162.) regards geoff watson

Your Father Is there anymore Geoff as your Father doesn't appear to have been a P.O.W. in Germany in 1945. Brian
