Pte. Alexander Hendry Purcell
British Army 7th Btn Kings Own Scottish Borderers
from:Glasgow
My father, Alexander Purcell was captured at Arnhem and was sent to a PoW camp in Germany. I have his war papers and it states he was a PoW in Germany for 6 months and 6 days. I was contacted by another soldier a few years ago who was with my father then and he sent me a photograph of them in Normandy. His name was Fred Tattershall. I believe he has now passed away.
