Thomson was captured at St Valery on June 12 1940 as part of the Dunkirk evacuation and taken to the Stalag VIIIB Lambsdorf camp in Poland.
From there, he was sent to a satellite camp and put to work in the forest alongside Lance Corporal Tommy Saunders, from County Durham. The pair died in 1944 when they were shot by their guard in an argument over their quota.
His and the grave of Saunders remained unknown until 2014 when the nephew of Saunders did research on his family member and also came aware of the death of Thomson who lies burried on the same cemetery.
