Thomas Jupp, East Yorkshire Regiment

[smiths565]

Hello everybody.

Can anybody do me a SDGW lookup to see if it confirms he died whilst a POW. I'd also like to know where he was born if possible.

Thomas Jupp, East Yorkshire Regiment 1st Bn. Private 8593.

Died 15-September 1915.

Buried Niederzwehren Cemetery, Kassel, Hessen, Germany.

Are there any sites on the net that may give more details on WW1 prisoners of war ?

Thanks in advance

Robert

Robert,

In March 1915 Thomas was interned as a Prisoner of War in Barrack No. 83 Gottingen, Germany.

Charles, thats brilliant, thank you very much. Sorry for the late reply, I've been away.

I have also since found out that, Thomas was a fireman, he was wounded in earlier actions. He returned to the front and was taken prisoner. he was held in Germany. Thomas died of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and was buried at Ohrdruf Prisoner of war cemetery, Thuringia which had 107 burials between 1915-1918. He was later moved to the cemetery he now lies in.

Thanks to all involved

Regards

Robert.
