[edit] Reid's Military Service

I was writing from memory and altered the RAF to Army for Reid because I always remember him being referred-to as Major Pat Reid (it turns out he was a Captain and then Major in the RASC - Royal Army Service Corps) and the rank of 'Major' does not exist in the RAF, so I was fairly sure he wasn't RAF.

As for a reference - see below (look under the entry for Captain R.H. Howe MBE MC, Royal Tank Corps - which also mentions the 'Laufen six')

I'm wary of relying on the Web for sources but this site seems to know a lot of detail, e.g., ranks, regiments, awards, etc, that is unlikely to have been made up.

I found this page while searching for this gentleman for my future father-in-law who went to university with his daughter and met him. Apparently he was also an elected MP after world-war two, but as I don't have the time to add this currently or a have a relevant source that I could quote for this knowledge I will leave this information for whoever updates this page next. By all means the second hand account reveals similar stories as to those in the page and it seems very unlikely that the stories are falsified.

[edit] Education at Clongowes Wood College

In December 2006 this anon IP user added a link to Clongowes Wood College and this editor does not seem to be adding nonsense but there is no source for this addition. Anyone know if it is true? ww2censor 21:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New project.

I have just started up WikiProject Colditz to cover articles regarding Colditz Castle and, in particular, it's role as a Prisoner of War camp in WWII. This project aims to cover the castle and all the notable prisoners, such as Michael Sinclair and Pat Reid, who were imprisoned there. Feel free to check it out and if you want to help out, I will be most grateful! -- Qarnos 09:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
