Thanks, Schiller


Interested to see Paddy Barthropp on the list. He was a frequent visitor to the Yacht Club of which I was secretary, and often visited a mate (RN) from Stalag Luft III days. When the Lt Cdr (the former Sailing Master to HM the Queen incidentally) died, we held a wake and ashes scattering at the Club. With the deceased and 3 attendees who had all been in Stalag Luft II it was a bit of an "occasion". ( I also had a Trustee's wife who was the widow of one of the 50 escapees who were murdered.)
