You have presumably seen his Red Cross POW records: https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Details/3300973/3/2/ . While his number is not given, his forenames are pretty conclusive!

Slkmum Posted 9 November , 2020 Author Share Posted 9 November , 2020 Yes thank you. I had seen this. I am beginning to think the records office got a bit muddled with two Albert Skinners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, don't think it was the 'records office' that got a bit muddled, one thing the Army was good at was administration and certainly the Medal Office recognised two different men. 9237 is shown as a POW whereas 9648 transferred tot he Labour Corps as above.
