Gnr. J. Manson

from:Finstown, Orkney
J Manson of Maitland Place, Finnstown [sic], Orkney, is one of 3 men whose names are written on the reverse of a photograph, which was in the possession of my father, Albert Percival Nichols.
Both were captured on 20th of June 1942, probably at Tobruk, and both were in Stalag 4A. The other two men were J Marrs of 10 Gamlin Street, Birkenhead, Cheshire and C Jones of Leyedge, Mayfield Drive, Cuddington, Northwich, Cheshire.
As well as my father, two other men (unnamed) appear on the photograph.
