Base Hospital (ETAPLES) 1918-19 German POW roles

A very narrow / obscure request - does anyone have any sources I might check or information on GERMAN POWs used in the Registration Dept at the Etaples Hospital from the end of the war until Spring 1919

I just acquired a photo scrapbook of a German soldier who appears to have been employed in this role as a POW - there are a couple of photos showing a mix of British and German men labelled and dated as "Registration Dept" and one view of the camp. It appears he was there from )Oct/Nov 1918 until Feb or March 1919.

Thanks in advance for any leads,

Chris
