Hi,
I am not sure if I am in the right forum but I saw a similar thread a while ago and as I have so little to go on I thought I would give it a go.
I am looking for information about my uncle who was shot down early in the WW2 conflict and ended up in Poland and was one of the victims of the "Long March" or "Death March". I have conflicting information that he was RAF and that he was shot down in Europe, but I also was told that he served in North Africa. If the North Africa bit is true then he may have been SAAF, but not necessarily. His name was David Wells Johnson and his service number was 1331640. I also was given a 'POW' number, 27043. I would like to find out the true details and especially which squadron he served with. It would have been a Spitfire squadron. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
