sotonmate Posted 9 August , 2017 Share Posted 9 August , 2017 You need to start the search in ICRC records at surname TURNEY and it flows through to TWEEDALE ! PA33935 is Horace's card. POW at GUSTROW, captured at PERONNE 25.3.1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonmate Posted 9 August , 2017 Share Posted 9 August , 2017 ralph Bit of a puzzle here - Horace is buried in France at Hautmont Comm Cemetery (Grave IV B 16) and Gustrow is almost in the centre of Germany. He died on 17 Oct 1918 some 7 months after capture. I am wondering if the POW camp was something of an Admin centre for out-housed prisoners.
