You could try looking through the WO 344 Series to check for a Liberation Report. Although all those repatriated would have been interrogated in the UK I have yet to find any reports.
The Red Cross could be of help, or a Service Record might give the information.

I have a copy of POW lists for 1944 so if you sent his name by PM if you don't want to display it I could check to see if his camp is given.

The list was produced in 1944 from data that had been gathered over a period of time so it is possible he is on this list.

Sorry to Peter and Brian for my delay in replying I've not been very well. I've not got very far with trying to find out which camp he was in, to be honest I dont really know what I'm doing, I will send you details Brian maybe he is on your list.
Thank you again.

Looked through the File.
He is not listed but it was worth a look.

Perhaps now the I.R.C.C. Files are the only place where the location of the camps will be given.

Thanks for looking, so whats the I.R.C.C sorry if I sound stupid. His little service and pay book says in France 2.4.40 to 19.4.40 then POW Germany 20.4.40. to 24.10.43
