I am hoping someone can give me information on the military history of my uncle: Paul Forback Jacobsen (1918-1986).
What I have found out so far is that he joined the Seaforth Highlanders in Vancouver to serve in the Second World War. He was injured and taken prisoner by the Germans. I don't know where he served in Europe or where and for how long he was a prisoner. I do remember him telling me, many years ago, that he was treated fairly well - the German guards even shared his care packages with him!!
Thanks in advace
