Cpl. John "Jock" Rankin
British Army Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Glasgow, Scotland
Sadly my dad, John Rankin passed away without me ever finding out a lot about his time as a POW. All he ever referred to was the good times and the laughs they had as comrades. I am sure it was not like that in reality.
I have a home made Menu Card from Stalag 357 from December 1944. Jock was the Compare, I can just see him, he was a character. If anyone has relatives who were there at that time I would love to hear from you.
The card refers to a Ben Muddle.
There are autographs on the back
Robert Jackson of Ashington, McNaught of Jordanhill, A R Noble and Dave Cirota.
