I am currently researching my wife's great grandfather Charles William Blackamore who was a POW in WW1 . He was captured 26 October 1917 at Gheluvelt he was in 9th Batt Devonshire regiment. He was repatriated in May 1918 via his home town of Boston but as he was recruited in Bilston it was not reported in the local paper Sadly his service record is lost but he did give information about his imprisonment but his report was one that was not printed (WO 161/100/337/1150 )
. Is this information he gave still in existence? If so how can it be obtained? I did download the entry from Kew but it was just the index also on FindMyPast .
Also he was according to his Medal card originally in South Staffordshires then transferred to Devon's was the South Staffs a training regiment supplying replacements?
