I have been researching my Great Uncle Richard Hanks, who was a P.O.W in World War 1. He lived in New Summer Street, and Served in the royal welsh fusiliers. He Entered France on 6th Oct 1914 and was taken prisoner on 30th Oct 1914. I have just come across this website of the Red Cross who recorded P.O.W's details. https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/
I hope anyone who has relations who were taken P.O. W will find this site as interesting and as helpful as me.
by the way It shows Richard Hanks was Taken to the Altdamm camp and recorded in Dec of 1914 and Repatriated in Dec 1918.
