Neil spent 5 years as a POW in Stalag XXA, Thorn, Poland. Using his skills as a Photographer, he risked his own life helping others escape. Attending funerals of fellow POW’s Neil would later use the photographs to trace families of the fallen.

Two family Birthday's
10th May 1916, a boy was born on the Isle of Bute. Neil McLellan, named after his own father, my Grandad was born 98 years ago today.
On the very same day in 1998, his Great Grandson, Nyall Galloway was born. Two years after Neil passed away on the 31st March 1996, it was a blessing they both now shared the same Birthday!
