Exploring the WWII, Allied Prisoners of War, 1939-1945 collection
You may have heard a family story that your ancestor was taken prisoner during WWII. Perhaps they were part of the British Expeditionary Force covering the Dunkirk evacuations or were amongst the survivors picked up from a merchant ship sunk crossing the Atlantic. Maybe they were part of an aircrew who managed to bail from their bomber and were captured in enemy territory. While service records are a fantastic source of information about a person’s military service, they often lack detailed information about their time as a prisoner of war. Prisoner of war records are, therefore, a valuable source, filling in the gaps left by a service record.
Our UK, Allied Prisoners of War, 1939-1945 collection comprises rolls and lists of prisoners of war, in addition to index cards for prisoners captured by the Japanese.
