Prisoner of war record, 19552 Pte Frederick Smith, Army Cyclist Corps

[Dragoon]

Hello again, 

I thought I'd start a new thread to hopefully get a POW record expert on board, this is the previous thread with regard to Frederick in which Chris and George kindly contributed...

Frederick was in the Army Cyclist Corps, #19552

DOB.1882

Captured, 9th April 1918

Repatriated , 2nd Dec 1918

I've searched the red cross records but to no avail, hopefully someone with a bit more expertise can help.

Thank you again all for your time.

May I ask, if people have kindly looked also and not found anything like myself?

Also, are there any other sites out there with POW records?

Cheers

Chris

I looked this afternoon.  Found no Smiths of the Army Cyclists, or Smiths Frederick with the right number.  There are a number, at the beginning, of Smiths with no other detail.  Significant that Findmypast, who now reproduce the ICRC POW records, haven't got him, but perhaps they had a similar problem.  Don't know of other sources I'm afraid.

Cheers Max for your reply, it is frustrating.

The surname Smith doesn't help ha ha.

Oh well, I'll keep hunting.

Thanks again Max

Could he be on a repatriation list in the British Newspaper Archives, I wonder?

Thank you!

I'll get onto the BNA when I get onto a library computer, it's free there.

Still looking through ICRC records, nothing! 

Cheers for the link, may get some more information.

Cheers
