Searching for my Mothers Uncles
Hi,
When I was a kid I always heard stories about Uncle Joe and Gavin. Gavin Cadden was a commando and was caught and almost excecuted but was saved by the German commanding officer; to his own demise as he was excecuted by the Gestapo for having done this. It's a pretty amazing story.
Joseph Cadden was a pilot in the RAF and was shot down or captured and spent his time in a Japanese POW. I did meet him a few times before he passed on and was one of the nicest gentlemen you could ever have met, but was pretty quite and didn't talk or mention much about his experience. I would like to try and track down some more information about him. I am just starting on this so if anyone can give me any pointers it would be great.
There are another two brothers, James and John. James was in Burma. I would like to start with Joe.
