239348 Capt. F. W. Watson British Army 8th Battalion East Kent Regiment I have in my possession a leather-bound Chambers English dictionary (1899) with a printed label inside from Gutersloh pow camp, Haus 8. It has inscribed names and dates inside as follows: J M Watson, Royal Artillery, 1890. Freda M Watson, St Helen's College, Southsea, September 1913. Captain F W Watson, 8th Buffs, Havant 24/1/16 followed by Offisier Kriegsgefangenlager, Gutersloh. Cpl McGillycuddy, Depot HQ, RAF Innsworth, 1943. S/O N McGillycuddy, PA's Office, RAF Hendon. The dictionary has been rebound (post-war I should say) in leather, as if it was a prized possession, with the stamped initials N.B.H. in one corner. I wonder if any surviving relatives of the above named could add any personal details to the bare bones of this story.
