marina Posted 5 March , 2006 Share Posted 5 March , 2006 Doug - could you look up Arthur Ernest Dawes, Border regiment, taken prisoner , I think in October 1914?, at least in the early stages of the war. All I know is that he was sent to the salt mines somewhere and didn't get home until 1920. Thanks, Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
