Copied from the: "Quiz Nights with James Wilson" Facebook page:
An excellent quiz at the Tempest last night - and a VERY close-run thing too! Top 2 scores were 62 and 63. Bottom Wanderers JUST pipped Real Ale Madrid to the top spot. Howard of Bewildered has chosen a couple of next week's rounds - more on that on Friday!
Dear Mr. Wilson. I have a question about your late father Donald James Ross Wilson the time he was a prisoner at Stalag Luft III. There is the story thatJohn Francis Williams (“Jack” Williams) was in the possession of a Rolex watch. Jack participated in The Great Escape. Jack gave the watch to (a) Donald Wilson for safekeeping in the case he didn’t come back. Jack became on of The Fifty murdered on Hitler's orders as a reprisal. Was your father thé Donald Wilson (because Donald Wilson is of course a common name). Best Regards, Ben van Drogenbroek, The Stalag Luft 3 Archives of Holland. b_v_drogenbroek@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteAfter the war, Donald Wilson gave the Rolex watch to Jack’s family.
