POW

Anc has a service record for him. Already in RWK when he attested.
Married Ethel Benstead 25 Dec 1911 in Christchurch, Milton, Kent
Mother Elizabeth. 1 child mentioned - Harold Victor.

There's a page about his POW time. Captures Neuve Chapell, last internment in Holland (he was lucky - a LOT of the soldiers of both sides interned in Holland died in the Great Flu epidemic).

He has 3 ref numbers on the Red Cross WW1 POW site HERE.
. They are PA 972, PA 7311, PA 14500. There's endless scrolling involved in finding the info, so I'm giving up for the moment.
