Red Cross POW cards - MUTATION

Can anybody tell me the Page numbers (start) that shows the repatriation of POWs. 

I found it earlier and looked Thro hundreds of pages some being un injured but a large number with injuries and the hospital they had been taken to? 

 

Found it by mistake but frustrating as I cannot get back to it. Grrrrrrr

Hi - on one of a group of PoW cards that I am looking at, it is written "MUTATION". Has anyone come across this before and do you know if it means "Transfer" or could it mean something else, does anyone know, please? Thank you!

According to Google, transfer or posting would be an appropriate English translation from the French.

From the colour of the card it could well be from the German series. If that is the case my Duden dictionary states that Mutation is Swiss-German for  Änderung or Wandlung meaning modification or alteration.

That's great thanks very much charlie2. It is from the German series. I didn't think about that when I posted the image up. To be honest, I the cards would all be identical -  am a bit green when it comes to records, etc relating to WW1. Thanks again for the help :-)
