Does anyone have any tips for finding details on POW's ? My father was telling me last night that his (now deceased) brother was a POW in Poland, escaped and was recaptured whilst attempting to book passage home - would love to be able to try and find some information... Thanks Paul |

The National Ex Prisoner of War Association has a site on Freeserve and they do hold camp records. There is also info at PROCAT. |

Hi Jill According to the site, there are no proper records availbale, but it does give an Army address where some records are available for a fee. It also gives info on Pensions which may hold such records. |
