No 35 Squadron Prisoners of War

[petet]

I am trying to piece together information regarding No 35 Squadron personnel that were taken POW and wondered if anyone could add any information about the location that they were held, or any other details regarding their capture. I would also be interested to know what the procedure was for repatriation (ie why were they repatriated at these points in time)

 

Any help would be much appreciated:

ICRC site : https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Search/#/3/2/224/0/British and Commonwealth/Military/duthoit 

It should give POW details. Burnard listed in Barnard.

Thanks for the response; I have made some progress, although I have not found Burnard / Barnard, Button or Hall at this stage. Does anyone have any information regarding the Offizierlager at Karlsruhe and Landshut?
