I have now received by documents from the National Archives. Another question, do you know where No 111 Interrogation Centre was/is, in the UK? My man on returning as a PoW from Germany went here and I think completed his General Questionnaire.

James: I came across three files I wanted to have copies at the National Archives. One I was told was closed till 2025. By email I was told f I wanted to request that this was changed I had to do a FOI Request with the TNA. This I did, filled in three forms and returned them. Three/four days later I...

Just a note of thanks to the forum and it's members. Grateful for your help both here and with private messages.

I am grateful that helps a great deal. My man after going thru ( your ) system was demobbed in May 1945. He arrived back in the country after April 15th. Was the process quick, leaving the camp?


Mike

Would all RAF crews from German PoW camps get processed via RAF Cosford? Would files be made of those returning? Would those from one camp be sent back on mass or did some make there own way home?

The camp I am interested in was liberated , April 1945 and the men came from 51 Squadron.

Thx

Any suggestions please? Lots reading this, can you help?
