Researching a PoW escapee's life

Worthy of a book, by the sounds of it.
"The life of a Perthshire soldier shot dead while escaping from a German Prisoner of War camp is being researched by his great nephew.
Alex Crawford (59) is putting together a record of piper Andrew Brand’s life which he is to donate to Perth’s Black Watch Museum.
Andrew, of the 2nd Battalion of The Black Watch, was shot and killed, aged 27, while trying to escape from a work camp in German-occupied Poland in August 1944 while imprisoned at Stalag XX-A, Torun.
He had escaped from camps on five previous occasions.
In January 1945, Andrew was posthumously Mentioned in Dispatches (MiD) for distinguished action in the field.
His great nephew, of Largoward, Fife, has been carrying out research into his great uncle’s life.
The retired service engineer said: “My late mother Agnes used to tell Theresa, my wife, and I of her uncle and our great uncle Andrew Brand who was shot while trying to escape from a prisoner of war camp.
“That was all she knew. I have recently retired, so I have a bit more time to carry out some research into him.
“My aim is to put everything together into a booklet and present it with photos and a set of replica medals to the Black Watch Museum in Perth.
Andrew was born to Henry Brand and Isabella Brand (née Ritchie) at Rossiebank Cottage, Dunning, on October 11,
1916.
Previously a farm hand, he joined the Black Watch in 1935 and served in Palestine, British Somaliland and then Crete.
