About me

About me

Welcome and thanks for dropping by.  My name is Jeanette Vizzard and this is my first blog!

I want to get my family stuff, the familystories ‘out there’ – into the blogosphere, into cyberspace or wherever you might be.

The ‘stuff’ might be stories I have been told, have researched or stories about stuff we have around the house like the blue scarf that will be the subject of my first post.

The story is about my father, Stephen Walter McDougal who served in the 2/3rd Field Regiment in World War II and who became a prisoner of war after capture on Crete – and about the significance of a blue scarf in his ‘grab for freedom’ from prisoner of war labour camp which was part of  Stalag VIIA.

I would love to have your comments or to hear from you if you think you may be related – through William Westbrook McDougal.
