He's my Mother's cousin and I'm trying to work out where he was imprisoned. There's no specific POW camp identified in his records and he returned home 5 days before the US Army liberated the first POW camp. I'm trying to determine how he got home and where he was liberated. Any and all help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been struggling to find an answer to this question for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffnut453 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hi Phyllis, Thanks for the pointer but I'd already checked the online resources. Sadly, there's no POW record for Francis Lee. The same problem arises in identifying his pall bearers. I couldn't find any POW reocrds for LCpl Ridings (KORR), Gdsm McGough (Scots Guards), Pte Ashcroft (RAMC) or Gnr Tatlock (RA). I found 3 options for Pte Edwards and one for a WO R Canning but none of the 4 align geographically and all those camps we're liberated after these men arrived in the UK..so I'm wondering if the Edwards and Canning pall bearers also don't have POW records like the others. Francis Lee died of malnutrition in a US Army hospital near Oxford. I therefore presume he was flown to the UK from the continent. If he'd been transported home by ship, I think it more likely he'd have been sent to a hospital in/near the port given his physical condition. My hope is that someone recognizes one of the pall bearers' names and has some insight into where they were imprisoned and how they got home.
