I didn't shave until I was back in Blighty and getting on to be 23! No, I didn't grow a beard. As you noticed I kept most of my hair on top of my head. Still got lots of it, now white!
Yes, the minor wound on my leg was caused during the ditching.
I'm surprised you examined the PoW record so thoroughly. It came into my hands quite a long time after the war. A "brave" Jewish air-gunner (title bestowed by Germans because of his religion daring to fly over their country) raided the Stalag orderly room after his release and took several sets of records including mine. Then he tracked me down from the adjoining London suburb where he lived and gave me the souvenir. His name was Mark Cohen.
