Obituary in The Times 27 October 2011:
[Extract]
Colonel Peter Storie-Pugh; Soldier who spent his war in Colditz after
being wounded in 1940 and later became an influential figure in the
world of veterinary surgery.
Before qualifying as a veterinary surgeon, Peter Storie-Pugh spent
more than four years of the Second World War confined in Oflag IVC —
Colditz Castle in Saxony. Incarcerated there because he was classified
as a prisoner who would persistently try to escape, he worked to help
others break out of the castle but was never able to get away himself.
Appointed MBE for services during incarceration in Colditz, Storie-
Pugh returned to his veterinary studies and the Territorial Army after
his release. He commanded a parachute Light Battery of the
Cambridgeshire Regiment, Royal Artillery, TA, until the unit was
restored to the infantry role and, on promotion to colonel, became the
Deputy Commander 161 Infantry Brigade TA, 1962-65. He was Commandant
of the Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force, 1965-70.
Peter David Storie-Pugh was the son of Professor Leslie Pugh, CBE,
FRCVS, of that Welsh gentry family formerly of Llanedy, and Paula
STORIE. His grandfather had also been a veterinary surgeon and his
academic promise at Malvern and as a Foundation Scholar at Queens'
College, Cambridge, led him into the profession.
His first marriage in 1946 to Alison, daughter of the late Sir Oliver
LYLE OBE was dissolved in 1971. He married Leslie STRIEGEL in the same
year. He is survived by her, and by a son and two daughters of his
first marriage and three sons and a daughter of his second.
Colonel P. D. Storie-Pugh, CBE, MC, veteran of Colditz and former
President of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, was born on
November 1, 1919. He died on October 20, 2011, aged 91
The son from his 1st m, Col Piers Atherly David STORIE-PUGH MBE TD DL
(b 1950) is married with a dau.
