L/Cpl. Alexander Spiers

British Army 2nd Btn. Seaforth Highlanders

The memories are very few. My father Alexander Spiers enlisted as a suplementary reservist in 1936, and was captured while digging for potatoes together with two other soldiers, during the last days of St Valery. He was held as a POW in Stalag 20b. While working with horses and helping out as a "Blacksmith" of which he had no experience at all, he got kicked and a dislodged a kneecap. He was reunited with Seaforth Highlanders in 1946/7 when he was stationed in Hamburg, Melle and Buxtehude in Germany. He died in 1982
