James Cameron Campbell lost his life in #WW2 while stationed at RAF #Turnberry. Visited the war memorial on the golf course where there’s still a section of runway. James was educated at @perthacademy. Link ⬇️ to his @CWGC #ForEvermore story. cwgc.org/stories/storie…
Didn’t get a 📷 of the whole group but TY Dunfermline Family History Group for braving the rain y’day to join me at #Dunfermline Cemetery for @CWGC tour. Lovely to hear personal stories from Kate (E Tolitt) & Janet (D Dick). Even had a Battlefield Guide, Sam - no pressure!
Wishing our @CWGC Public Engagement Co-ordinator Scotland North & East Patricia Keppie all the very best for her upcoming retirement. Just a few 📷’s of her many events over the years and many thanks for all her support of our remembrance projects at @perthacademy.
Hello #WW2 pals, looking for a bit of advice. A friend has sent details of her grandfathers service and knows little else: 98146, Major Henry Charles Ballantine R.A. Served in Madagascar, Ceylon & India. Any regimental history book/books or memoirs to recommend? Thank you!
Well done Trish, great work!

Views my own.Among the liberated prisoners was Rosine Witton, wife of interned IWGC gardener Bert Witton. Rosine had lifelong disabilities from her time in the concentration camp. Her husband, Bert, was repatriated to the UK, but went straight into a hospital and died there in August 1945.
The Polish soldiers and some older prisoners stopped the young women from lynching the SS guards (though they did allow them to beat them up and shave some of the SS women's heads). Teresa Noce, an Italian Communist in her 40s, later regretted stopping the younger prisoners.
Now the prisoners had two priorities: food and vengeance. Many raided the SS food stores. Others raised both the French and Soviet flags. Others attacked the guards. The French prisoners singing "Ça Ira," the song of Revolution and guillotines, with new lyrics for the SS.
Around noon on May 5, the prisoners at the windows saw soldiers emerge from the woods. "Everything looked like something out of a novel, or like a movie," Michelin wrote. Within minutes, the Polish Holy Cross Mountains Brigade overpowered the SS garrison, liberating the camp.
On April 29, guards at the nearby men's camp shot six Italian prisoners. Soon after, the women were locked in their barracks. According to some, the SS placed fuel around the barracks. "Are we going to die by the machine gun or the flamethrower?" wondered Jeanne Bouteille, 22.
Survivors testified that some prisoners were killed by the bombs. Cecilie Klein-Pollack, age 20, remembered one of her fellow Jewish prisoners killed in late April 1945. "We all dropped to the floor . . . when we got up, there was one of our girls dead." encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/id-…
The guards were no longer feeding the prisoners, who descended into "a psychosis of hunger." Madeleine Mallet, age 17, recalled eating a jar of glue she found while clearing rubble after a bombing. "It was delicious and tasted like nuts." cbdb.cz/kniha-244080-p…
In her diary, Marie-Marguerite Michelin (yes, those Michelins) recorded a sort of hysterical fatalism re: the bombs. She stood at the barrack windows to watch the explosions rather than hiding. "I am not nervous about the bombings. To die right now seems absurd and laughable."
In the last days of April 1945, the prisoners at Holleischen (a subcamp of Flossenbürg near Plzeň) faced three major threats: 1. starvation 2. Allied bombs 3. the murderous panic of SS guards who knew the end was near
