New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Prisoner of war records
« on: Tuesday 20 November 12 07:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Hereford.
The site for the POW'S is www.wartimememories.co.uk
If you click on the yellow button on the left hand side and go down to "Prisoners of War", then scroll down the page and you will see the Stalag Camps. 8b will tell you a lot in the introduction.
My uncle was young and worked in the coal mines for almost four years. Fortunately he came home to NZ and was the last of his battalion to die. What a lovely man he was.
Regards Sally :)

Can anyone put me in the right direction of NZ records for NZ prisoners of war in WW2. My Great Uncle was a medic then and I was always told that he was in a German prisoner of war camp. So I need to be guided on the right path to finding out this information .Thanks Hereford

I was given both my uncles war history from NZ Archives WW2, cost nothing and postage to Australia cost nothing, they were great. One uncle was captured on Crete and sent to Stalag 8B Camp where a lot of NZ'S were. There is a web site for the POW'S but I will have to search for it. The site is asking for people to give information about their relatives who could be in the photos. I found my uncle there and now its in Google. In the war history nothing was said about his time in the prison camp. Good Luck. Sally

Hello Fellow Searches,

I am looking for information on Edmund Reed Jones. Birth, siblings etc. I believe he was born somewhere in South Wales about 1828?

His father, John, was  a "sugar refiner?" 

He married Mary Ann Hunt in Bristol, Gloucester on Jan 6th 1884.

They emigrated with their family to Australia in 1857.

Regards,
Terry t
