According to earlier posts it's 4206696 J Wood. If he was captured on the 25th, and belonged to the 6th RWF as previously stated then I think it's probable that G Isaac was 6th aswell.

This is pretty important to Speed, I would imagine. Two witness statements of how his father was captured, including one from his Platoon Sgt who tasked him to recover a wounded man! Literally an eyewitness report.

Here is one description of the battle for Reusel: http://www.warcemeteries.nl/6RWF.html

Also, there is a couple of pages in the 6th RWF history.

Nice to see those Missing Men files coming in handy-They really are the forgotten files when researchers are looking for an individual that was killed or captured. Sometimes they can deliver pure gold.

Swiper transcribed the war diary on to WW2Talk which is where the image of the war diary entries come from.

If you need any further assistance with files etc from the National Archives give me a shout. I can look up PoW Lib Reports etc.

Cheers
