MICs are free to search on Ancestry at the moment, so you can look for it yourself http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1262 I cannot see his service record on Ancestry.

Morning,

No wonder he was captured, he was there a year before everyone else (1913 ?).

His PoW papers are here

http://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Details/4039897/3/2/

You need to 'post' the reference numbers in the box etc.

All the MiC says is drafted 31 August 1914.

Regards,

Graeme

14 Star Medal Roll shows him 1st Btn KRRC, no mention of POW,

If you follow Graemes link for more info,

The camp he is listed under may not be the one he was actually in. Some listings appear to use the main camp and don't show the satellite camps.
