Hi I am looking for any information on (or where I can start looking) 123342, Cpl Isaac THOMPSON of 6th Btn. Machine Gun Corps. He died 1 Jan 1919 and is buried in Copenhagen Western Cemetery, and I believe he was a released POW on his way home. He was born 1891 in Pendleton, Lancashire Chris. _________________________________________________________________ Try Live.com - your fast, personalised homepage with all the things you care about in one place. http://www.live.com/?mkt=en-gb
Chris: Indeed your man was a PoW on his way home. I have a medal group to a Rifleman Dimpsey who died at sea and was buried at Copenhagen - virtually identical details to your man. He was noted in the 1914 KRRC Chronicle as 'Missing' - but I've not been able to find documentation of Dimpsey's exact details as a PoW. His service history details are: Trio to: Rifleman William George Dimpsey 1914 Star with Bar, to: 7673 PTE W. DIMPSEY. 1/K.R.RIF:C. British War Medal, and Victory Medal, to: 7673 PTE. W.
