"Hello again,
I'm wondering if anyone here on this thread who was at the orphanage has any recollections of a particular family. The Mackenzie brothers from Assynt were there from Dec 1941 until Aug 1945. George and Kenneth were…"
"we would love to hear from you Moira. We have as strong Highland orphanage alumni dating from the Carrol Children's home era. Our knowledge of the old place is very limited"
"Hello Moira, thanks for your reply, I'm only seeing it now! It would be amazing if you could ask Dagmar. How can I PM you? I'm new to this site so will try and add you to my email contacts?

Hope you are still online. I found your comment re Carrol Children's Home Inverness. I stayed there at Island bank road, a much happier experience than many in the previous place

Hi Harold,
I found the following POW information on Ancestry.co.uk that might about your Dad. I guess the best way to verify the information would be to match his service number. If you don't have it you could probably request his records from the UK National Archives:
Name: G.A. Douglas
Rank: Corporal
Army No: 2921926
Regt: Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders
POW No: 18150
Camp type: Stalag
Camp No: 383
Location: Hohenfels, Rhineland-Palatinate
Record Office: Infantry Record Office, Perth
Record Office No: 16
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Harold

Hi Harry,
I too was called Harry but lost the nickname when I joined the Army.
It sounds like you were named after your uncle Harold Dixon Douglas who recently died at the age of 94. I visited Inverness a few years ago, but sadly wasn't aware he was alive at the time. I'm in contact with his daughter.
Good luck with your search and let me know if I can help in any way.
CheersHarold
