L/Bdr. Douglas Percy Dunn
British Army 107th (South Nottinghamshire Hussars Yeomanry) Fie Royal Artillery
from:Nottingham
My father Doug Dunn was wounded and taken prisoner at the battle of The Cauldron, Knightsbridge on 6th of June 1942. The Regiment was wiped out I believe only 90 men survived.
He was held in Italy. He escaped and was recaptured. Then at Hartmansdorf Stalag IVf until near the end of the war when he escaped and got to American lines.
His family had been told he had been killed so when he returned in 1945 he had nothing to come home to.
