German prisoner of war passed by a CCS

[battle of loos]

Good evening,

I would like to know whether the German prisoners were interned in Great Britain or did they remain in France?

because a few years ago, I found 2 remains of German identity plate pat. 1916 in a CCS trash can near arras.

here is one of them :

recto:
Abel -... Altena - ... 82 - L.J.R.168 - 2290

which I deduce:
surname: ABEL
First name: ???
places of birth or residence: Altena - Westphalia until 1918 - North Rhine-Westphalia present
Date of birth?? - ?? - 1882
assignment: E.J.R. 168 = Ersatz Infanterie Regiment Nr 168 : EJR 168 = Ersatz Infanterie Regiment Nr 168
regiment: 5. Großherzoglich-Hessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.168
registration number : 2290

back:
J.R. 168 .5

registration form at the ICRC (Red Cross) :

according to the history of the 25th Reserve Division on which JR 168 depends, he was certainly taken prisoner between the following dates:
- 04 Sep 1918 - 18 Sep 1918 : Fighting in front of the Siegfried Front
- 19 Sept. 1918 - 09 Oct. 1918: Defensive battle between Cambrai and Saint-Quentin

Is there traceability within the CCS of the German prisoners of war who have been treated there?

thank's in advance for your help.

regards

michel

Quiet usual for wounded Germans to be evacuated through the British medical system.

If you had a CCS number the diary might mention them but it seems unlikely especially in 1918. Not sure why their tags would be removed unless they died which might raise the chances if a diary entry.

There are a number of admission books for Germans admitted to CCS. Chances are still slim though.

You really need the CCS number and there may have been a group of CCSs close to each other.

Where/how does one find a CCS trash can 104 years later?
