From Gillian Cowburn

I have only just learned of this website but I am hoping to be able to add my grandad’s ‘book’ of memories as a GUEST OF THE REICH. His name was Richard Law and he came from Leyland in Lancashire.

From Marjorie Sweeney

Thank you that is indeed my Dad Richard Law, Gillian is my niece. He was captured at Dunkirk his regiment the Royal Artiliary He worked at the paper factory at Krapitz and also in the mines were he became very ill in the hospital he changed places with a Canadian Henry Bertram and spent the next 2 years in the RAF never having even been in an aeroplane. Also during the great march He escaped, joined the retreating Italian army and was picked by the Americans. Before being shipped home, My mother got a letter to say he was missing believed dead, so for 11 weeks she had no word then got a telegram to say he was in Scotland and would be in Preston on the early train.
