POW records.

[dudjac]

I had an uncle whom I was told was a POW during WW11.  I was only 9 years old when the war
ended but can recall my mother folding and sending the local newspaper to him each week
His name was Philip Mark Jacobs b.1917 and his home address was Camberley Surrey.
I also recall that he was blind in one eye and served in the pioneer corps.I believe.
Can anybody find this man listed as a POW or did I get things mixed up as a child.
Many thanks.  Dud

Checked out my Database and if he was a POW he didn't make a report when Liberated.
