Doug Johnson Posted 12 February , 2006 Share Posted 12 February , 2006 Ady, Sometimes behind the wire contains references to those that died as PoWs but these are very few compared to all those that died. Most of those that are listed survived. The CWGC site reference gives details of all the camps that contributed to the cemetery that he is in but it is a long list in this case. The CWGC may be able to identify whether he was originally buried in this cemetery or transfered from somwhere else and if so, where that was. Failing that, a donation to the Red Cross may get you some details. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
