Peter Gurnell Sturton, Brigg.
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 09:02 GMT (UK) »
Peter Gurnell was the rear-gunner of 207 Squadron Manchester L7303 shot down by an  ME 110 piloted by Gerhard Herzog 27/28 March 1941 on operations to Dusseldorf.

Peter Gurnell and my father Walter Layne both attended Brigg Grammer School and were prisoners of war together at Stalag Luft VI and Stalag 357.

In my father's POW "Wartime Log" there are 50 prisoners named, https://wallyswar.wordpress.com/pow-log/

 I am attempting to find a wartime photograph of each individual.  So far of the 50 prisoners I have found photographs of 23 and am hopeful that through this site I might find a wartime photograph and have more information on Peter Gurnell.

My efforts so far can be seen here.  https://wallyswar.wordpress.com/other-pows/
