Had a read and he was a pow for 1 year 9 days, doesn't say where though

He also has an interesting few documents in the service record!

Thanks... Yes I have his service record and combined with his war and post war diaries makes interesting reading. There is a mention of the POW camp in which he was imprisoned... I have my own idea what it says versus a list of known WW1 German camps but am trying to post the file on here to get other peoples opinion, unfortunately so far the file is too big to post... But am working on it.

Hopefully attached is a file from Percy's war record with the German POW camp he was held in between 30/11/17 & 29/11/18.  I have an idea which camp it was but ask for all you other clever Rootschatters to take a look and see what they think.  I certainly think the group photo was taken during or shortly after repatriation.
thanks

That's what I thought... Have been looking at maps of Dulmen to see if anything corresponded with the first word, but no luck yet!

I'm researching a Percy Valentine Seward, born 1866 in Kent.  Might he be your uncle?
