hmsk212 Posted 6 June , 2005 Share Posted 6 June , 2005 I have a document that belonged to a Pte from the 13th Yorkshire Regt who was a POW in Russia in 1919. Does anyone know where I can get it translated? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackimzey Posted 6 June , 2005 Share Posted 6 June , 2005 Hi, Steve, You might start at your local library or, perhaps, the nearest school or university. Often there will be someone with the necessary skills employeed at one of these institutions. I often use "babelfish" http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr but I fear your document may be in cyrillic. Best of luck, Ann K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsk212 Posted 14 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 14 June , 2005 He was discharged from the 13th Yorks in July 1920. His protection Certificate dated April 1920 shows him as a repatriated prisoner of war. He served in WW2 as a "Post Invasion Warden" for the Merton & Morden area.
