POW Camps in Morayshire

Post by clairemcgillivray » Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:56 pm

Does anyone have any knowledge of or resources regarding POW camps in Morayshire, specifically around Alves / Elgin / Forres / Rafford / Dyke?

I found a photo of my granny's of a young man with the inscription 'Remember P.O.W. Peter, 24th August 1947' written on the back. My granny has lived her entire life in Alves and surrounding area, with two children born at Newton of Dalvey (Dyke) in 1944 and 1949, so it's most likely he would've been in that area.
Interested in: McGillivray (Moray and Aberdeenshire), Alexander (Moray and Aberdeenshire), Strathdee (Moray and Banffshire), Williamson (Moray and Ross-shire) among others.
