There are also records of British POWs in Germany available. My father lost a leg near St Quentin in a Somme battle on 22nd. March 1918 and was taken prisoner and treated at the POW hospital at Gottingen. He never discussed his experiences but I learned the details only last week by firstly accessing his War Record to get his regiment and service number. Then I posted an enquiry on the "Great War Forum". The responses were very helpful and included information on how to get access to the War Diary which records detailed accounts of the daily actions in the war at regimental level. The War Diary (two large PDF files) cost only £3 or so from the National Archives. It was money well spent. Eric Millward ----- No virus found in this message.
