There is an A G Harrison on the C.W.S. Roll and I'm trying to find if this is 9980 Arthur Harrison of II Platoon of 18th Bttn who is included in the PoW Schedule as captured at Guillemont 30/7/1916.  I just checked the BWM /VM Roll and it says he also served in 11th Bttn.
Can anyone verify if this may be the C.W.S. chap and also explain a transfer to 11th Bttn if he had been captured.

Cheers

John Ernest Whitworth 9943 is mentioned in the Schedule.  He trained with II Pln of A Coy 18th Bttn.  His Service Record shows he was Missing on 29/1/1916 and mentions some ineligible (to me) names of camps.  Repatriated Hull 22/11/1918. Discharged Class Z 5/4/1919.
Resident Monton and Likely salesman at C.W.S. Drapers Dept.

Any chance of you posting a scan of the camps where he was held? The ICRC records only list Hameln and Holland.

Charlie

[mack]

Have you anything on Albert Sefton. If he is Manchesters presumably 1st Bn but I reckon he is Loyals. PA 1796.
Thanks
