the reason they are not on the list,is because the red cross were not enquiring about them,CSM cooke who was the senior soldier at sprottau,is answering a enquiry from Geneva about missing men.

mack ;D

34100 Pt Geoffrey Guiffette is 34100 Pte Geoffrey Griffiths. His name is clear on PA5688

Hi I have recently joined this group and found this amazing pdf. My great grandfather  Frank Carter 10094 is mentioned in your list in the first post but not sadly inside the pdf sadly as I have no photos him, but lots of photos he could be in !

Anyhow I never knew he was at Sprottau. Many years ago I contacted the Red cross and they said he was transported to Dulmen from Cambrai. He also appears on list for Dulmen as well so I assumed here was there all the time.  o you have any lists that show he was also at Sprottau.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated

many thanks

Enter the PA and R numbers into the search box, you can then either download or print the 2 lists

Hi

I can see that the R number relates to Sprottau when I scroll to the start, funny how the Red Cross never said that in the letter I got from them but perhaps there was no call to look further at the time

Many thanks for your response
