Royal Ulster Rifles, John McKeown, Corporal WW2
« on: Sunday 20 January 13 13:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Would there be anyone willing to assist in providing any further information on John McKeown above, born 1895 in Cookstown, Co Tyrone.  He was a prisoner of war WW2 in Stalag 4D Torgau Elbe.

This is the only information I have, having tried Ancestry and found nothing :-(

Hoping someone will be able to help
