Airey Middleton Sheffield Neave&###xA0; DSO, OBE, MC, TD (23 January 1916 &###xE2;&###x20AC;&###x201C; 30 March 1979) was a British army officer, barrister and politician. During World War II, Neave was one of the few servicemen to escape from the German prisoner-of-war camp Oflag IV-C at Colditz Castle. He later became Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Abingdon.

Neave was assassinated in 1979 in a car-bomb attack at the House of Commons. The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) claimed responsibility. Patrick Robert "Pat" Reid, MBE, MC&###xA0; (13 November 1910 &###xE2;&###x20AC;&###x201C; 22 May 1990) was a British Army officer and historical author of non-fiction. As a British prisoner of war during the Second World War, he was held captive at Colditz Castle when it was designated Oflag IV-C. Reid was one of the few to escape from Colditz, crossing the border into neutral Switzerland in late 1942.

After the war Reid was a diplomat and administrator before eventually returning to his pre-war career in civil engineering. &###xA0; A real gem for any collector.
