Diana,
The picture at

is of Charles Gould drawn by a fellow POW at Stalag Luft 1.  Eich's 
only connection is that they were in the same POW camp.  Looks like 
Gilstrap was in Stalag 4.  The officers and enlisted men were 
generally kept in different POW camps.

If you haven't ever spoken to Henry Eich, you should give him a call. 
 He was very excited that I had called.  I'm sure he can tell you 
things about your uncle.  It always makes me nervious to call a 303rd 
veteran that I have never met, but each time I have done it has been 
a great experience.
