Badgepye Posted 24 October , 2013 Share Posted 24 October , 2013 Hi, I'm researching Private 9348 William Morrall of The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. On his M.I.C. he has a qualifying date of 22/8/1914 and "P of W" which I am taking to be prisoner of war. I'm struggling to get any further information as to what happened to him. I believe he came home and survived to to a good age but I want to fill in the gaps about his incarceration. Could anyone point me in the direction of where I may find more details? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Atkins Posted 25 October , 2013 Share Posted 25 October , 2013 You could look at this thread relating to POWs (mostly men taken prisoner early in the War)who went into internment in Holland in 1918; if he was taken prisoner in the early stages of the fighting perhaps your man was among them. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=184517 I can confirm the "P of W" signifies Prisoner of War - his medal card is filled out almost identically to an August 1914 POW relative's in this and in other respects - but don't know enough to guess at a date for his capture from it.

Don Posted 25 October , 2013 Share Posted 25 October , 2013 I see him on a "missing list" published 6th November 1914, along with hundreds of others Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badgepye Posted 26 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 26 October , 2013 Many thanks both for your replies, I shall explore the link. Gerry, is your "missing list" something that's available from the National Archive? Many thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
