Lieutenant-Colonel Ian Grant Garrow DSO (24 August 1908 - 28 March 1976)[1] was a British army officer with the Highland Light Infantry.

In August, after walking to Marseilles, Garrow turned himself in to the Vichy French regime and was officially interned, although able to move freely around the city.

[5] In October 1940, Garrow began working with other British interned or living in Marseilles such as Donald Caskie and Nancy Wake and French resisters such as Louis Nouveau, to organise the escape to Britain of Allied internees and soldiers and airmen stranded in France.

Garrow escaped from Mauzac in December 1942 with help from the Pat Line and sheltered with Marie Dissard (code name Françoise) in Toulouse, before being guided across the Pyrenees to the British Consulate in Barcelona.

[7] Michael Foot and Jimmy Langley describe Garrow as "a tall dark-haired captain in the Seaforth Highlanders in his early twenties, who spoke French with a noticeable Scots accent".
