Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas where I can get any more information about my late Grandfather - Pte. Harold Gilbert
His army number is 322138 and a POW number at Stalag 8b was 96358. I don't know if he was in the main camps or worker camps but I do know he escaped several times and we think he was at more than one camp after he was recaptured each time. We know he was at Stalag 8b in 1944 because of the correspondence he sent home and received. We believe he was in the 8th battalion of the Sherwood Foresters.
Is there anywhere I can search for more information or is it just not available? I would love to be able to find out if he was in the main camp or worker camps and if there is any information about other camps he may have been in (it's my understanding he ended up with more than one POW number).
Can anyone tell me where to look? I tried the National Archives but I can't work out how to search it.
Thank you

Lianne
