Database of POWs

[Ghost]

I have only just found this link to the database of POWS, but the link leads to an empty page. Has the database gone?

Hi Alan

Was it this one?

EDIT: It's not working

Perhaps Chris is shifting/sorting atm?

Chris is redesigning the POW area at present. In many ways that database (which was compiled by GWF members) how now been superceded by the same info being available in the Documents Online section of the National Archives website.

You can still see the old one on the 'Internet Archive Wayback Machine' which archives pretty much everything on the web:

Here you go, not sure how much of it works though:

Index of POW's

Yes that is the database I am looking for, found the cached version also, but not the name I am looking for, not on N.A either. I will start a new thread to appeal for info. Thanks all.

Does anyone have any information about the officer POWs captured at the seige of Kut ? My grandfather Major C.F.Henley was with 1st Bn Ox & Bucks, wounded twice during the seige then taken prisoner, by the Turks.Family history says that he suffered from hearing loss and several toes from frostbite. I am aware that politically, both the defeat and the subsequent treatment of POWs, especially other ranks was extremely brutal.
