I'm fine with it thanks Carmen. I saw this photo at my mothers in Dec 05 and waited for a copy she promised to send. I went back in Dec 06 and got the original. I promised Keith I would post it as soon as I arrived home so I just scanned it in. Apparently my uncle gave it to my mother with some other family photos from my my father's side of the family. My uncle also fought in Egypt and Italy. My grandfather died in 1963 at the age of 60, so he must have been about 40 when he was captured and my uncle in his teens. I wonder how many fathers and sons fought in the war? Just imagine the poor wives and mothers. I can only go on what I heard as a child but I believe he was in a Luftstalag right up until the end of the war and did not arrive back in England until 1947.
