harneyn Posted 7 April , 2005 Share Posted 7 April , 2005 A great uncle served: Regiment: West Yorkshire Regt. (Prince of Wales's Own) Unit Text: 9th (Yorkshire Hussars) Bn Service # 10684 July-Sept 1915 Balkans - POW Service dates and medals found at the National Archives. He was a repatriated POW... and died later of service related injuries, and is buried at Selby, Yorkshire. Noted as served in Balkans. I cannot find any info on where he would have fought or been captured. The Regiments are formed into others - and in trying to follow the paths - it is always to France, not Balkans. Any ideas for me? TIA Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolay Posted 7 April , 2005 Share Posted 7 April , 2005 Most probably he was with the Gallipoli expedition and was POW in the Ottoman empire in 1915. Just a guess... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
