Unfortunately, a few were not only married but also had children or pregnant wives. Tom Kirby-Green and Paul Tobolski immediately come to mind.
You’re quite right !!! Tom Kirby-Green’s wife married Roy Langlois a Guernseyman who was one of the last out of the tunnel, and one of the first to be recaptured. Kirby-Greens son has been interviewed several times in programmes about the Escape.
However these seem to be the exception and were probably picked because they were persistant escapers, and therefore troublesome. Though I admit I can only refer to the various books written on the subject. One in particular written by J Vance has some glaring errors in it, which are unfortunately repeated in books which have used it as reference.
