Kind Nathalie's plea as she looks after sergeant's grave in the Netherlands

I won't give up until brave soldier Andrew is finally reunited with his family in Paisley...

A Dutch woman who has been tending to the grave of a Paisley soldier who died in World War II is appealing for help to find his family.

Nathalie te Wilt, who lives in the Netherlands, has adopted the war grave of former RAF Sergeant Andrew Wilson alongside Pilot Sergeant John McCalla Tait, and Second Pilot James Archibald Wilson.

The three men sadly died on March 26, 1943, after their Halifax MKII was shot down near Zelhem, Holland, during World War II.

The three men are buried at a cemetery in Doetinchem, Gelderland.

Nathalie adopted the graves of the three men back in March as a display of gratitude and remembrance, while vowing to do her best to find their families.

She told the Express: "I take care of the graves and bring roses for them. I also light candles.

"They deserve love and attention for everything they've done for us, for our ancestors and for the generations who will come after us."

The 31-year-old now wants to trace the family of Sgt Andrew Wilson.

Wilson, who was just 26-years-old when he died, lived at both 38 Lady Lane and 76 George Street in Paisley.

He was born on July 19, 1916, to his parents Andrew, who was born in Saltcoats in 1886 and Catherine Wilson, who was also born in Paisley in 1888.

Andrew had one brother, Hugh McKendrick Wilson who was born in Paisley in 1920.

Sgt Wilson was also married and he and his wife had one son called Brian A Wilson who went on to become a carpenter.
