L/Cpl J.Bamforth Jones Warks Regt Casualty - POW record exists, is it in error ?

[davidbohl]

Schoolteacher L/Cpl John Bamforth Jones #18117 R.Warwickshire Regt was yet another casualty CWGC 

There is a record of him being a POW as well, supplied by an Aunt:-

L/Cpl John Bamforth 18117 16th Royal Warwickshire by Clara Bamforth (aunt)

There is an informative webpage on the Upholland memorial

 

Is the POW entry valid or was it inspired by him being listed as 'missing' ?

Many thanks

Dave

Can't find him under the Warwickshire Jones  or the Bamforths on ICRC, others may have better luck...

John Bamforth Jones was reported missing in the Casualty list 13/11/1916. Given that he has no known grave but is commemorated on Thiepval memorial and that SDGW says he died of wounds, the suggestion he was PoW briefly and died soon after capture would seem possible.

Effects says he died 'on or since 26/9/16'
