brianjohn Posted 13 May , 2014 Share Posted 13 May , 2014 Pte Geoffrey Lionel Brooke age 18 of 1st Bn Worcestershire Regiment died on 18 October 1918 as a POW. Is there any way of finding out when he was captured and what he died of. I suspect there is not (especially as a Private). Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
