Recommended Posts

The attached picture is of my grandad (on the right), he was in the Royal Flying Corp. I know absolutely nothing about the uniform which they are wearing. He was in Parchim POW camp at some point. Any info would be greatly appreciated

They are wearing standard POW uniform issued by the Germans - trousers with a coloured stripe down the leg and a tunic with a yellow armband around the bicep. A better view is in the photo below.

He is a Private of the Ox & Bucks LI - even though he is wearing an MGC badged cap!!! - and it took me 2 months to identify him!!!!!
