Ok thanks Mack, Kenny sounds good, I'll have a look what can be found under Kenny and it should be possible to tie the two together.

Charles Kenny is the man, he's also listed as being held at G�tersloh in Dec 1915. Well done again Mack

Charlie,

This provides info about L/Cpl William Chubb, of Manchesters who died as a PoW in Germany on 26/10/1918.  His family were from Chorley.  I can't find anything more about him and Chubb is hidden in icrc index.  I wonder is you can find him?
