Summary

Brothers from Uist who became prisoners in France.

Two brothers called MacIntyre were cutting peats one day when they saw a boat at anchor. They thought it was selling liquor and went out to it. They got drunk and fell asleep on board the ship. They woke up the next day to find they were at sea on a French ship. This was during the '45. They were imprisoned in France for four years. The contributor is of the same stock.
