_"...On 28th November Shand was leading six Spitfires on a low-level sweep across the Dutch coast, seeking targets of opportunity. They successfully attacked a tanker-barge on a canal and as they returned, Shand and Sergeant Tucker went down to shoot up a train. They were attacked by two Fw190s and Shand was shot down in Spitfire Vb EP595 and taken prisoner._
_He was held in Stalag Luft 3 at Sagan and Belaria. He took part in the Great Escape, being the last prisoner to emerge from the tunnel and get away but he was recaptured._
_He was released from the camp in early May 1945 and returned to New Zealand on 23rd September._
_He went on to the Reserve on 10th April 1946 and then took up farming at Wairarapa, in the south-east of North Island. He retired in 1978. Shand died on 20th December 2007..."_
