James Plater
British Army

I am trying to gather info on my Grandfather James Plater and his time in the Army. I know he was captured on the Island of Kos and sent to Stalag 4B. He was a heavy gunner in the African campaign against Rommel before being captured. I have no idea as to his rank regiment or anything. After the war he was with the Middle East War Crimes Unit.
If anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
