Repatriated PoW lists

[charlie]

I've been playing about on the ICRC site and found that there are some lists of repatriated PoWs listed by Bn and Regt. There also lists of ex PoWs admitted to Hospitals in France. They are obviously returns sent to the ICRC by the various records offices.

To get to the lists:
From the home page click on validate (no name required)
Click on "more about this person" (it doesn't matter who)
Change the reference number letter to "R" and enter 52000

That seems to be about the middle of the lists that I have found.

The R List is certainly interesting.  Just wish we could work out how to search and navigate by Regiment.  Still a great database though.  We're lucky to have access now.

As far as I can tell there is no way to search apart from reference number and pot luck. It's not the most user friendly database that has been devised but we should be thankful that the records have been released. Some of the entries especially for the wounded certainly give some idea as to the horror of war.
