Can someone date this newspaper article for me please.

This article would have been published in about 1943. More than likely a local newspaper, in and around Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Bucks, or Thame, Oxfordshire.

Many thanks for looking.

Steve.

Just can't imagine the grief of his Mother, Father and siblings when they found out when he had died.

Yeah it would have been hard. Terrible also that most of them could not bring them home to bury so not much closure for them.

It would have been very hard. My great uncle was a POW from 1942 to 1945, he survived though.
