proper, on a chief azure three mullets of the first, 2nd
and 3rd, argent, three piles

daughter of Henry Somers
Rivers, on 6 June 1942

I believe that Peter was a POW in the second World War who made his
escape back to Britain via Sweden - possibly the only one who re-entered
the war. Is this true? Can anyone add
to the story?
