World War Two / Re: Allied P.O.Ws in Germany WW2
« on: Monday 27 June 16 14:38 BST (UK)  »
Dear S.L.
I have contacted the Australian War Memorial Re. My father's Questionnaire.
They are called Statement made by Repatriated Servicemen.
I found one in a returned P.O.W.'s army record which had been digitised. so they are in Australia.
My father was in Germany.
There are a lot of what you are referring to who were prisoners of the Japenese digitised on the National Archive site.
So hoping the War Memorial research people can help me.

Thank you very much for your reply
Regards
Lorayne

World War Two / Allied P.O.Ws in Germany WW2
« on: Wednesday 22 June 16 05:07 BST (UK)  »
My father was an Australian Soldier captured on Crete in June 1941 and interred in German P.O.W. Camps. He was repatriated to England in April 1945 before being sent home to Australia in June 1945.
I understand that the P.O.W.s were questioned as to their treatment etc. In England.
I paid the U.K. National Archives to have WO 344/21/2 set of records searched, but they said they found nothing. Was I looking at the right set of records?
He was mentioned in dispatches, for several escape attempts, and I was able to download the record of what he actually did, which was digitised, from the National Archives, WO 373/102/752. That record is not in Australia.
Can anyone help with regards to what records am I actually looking for?

Regards

Thanks for all your replies , Guys!
Yes, the Hazelwood name is spelt variously.
Henry Hazelwood died in 1892 at Stroud. I'm having a problem with his children to Caroline.

Thank you very much for your reply also.

It is possible, given that I don't know for sure what happened to him. However even if I did get the death cert from England, the most useful things would be occupation and witness to the death, as English certs. do not give much info. I still could not prove where he came from.

Dear Gerry
The William Richard Kennett b. 1858 is the one in Adelaide in 1903. He is the one I can't find, and think he's in Queensland.
The William Kennett at Goolwa is his father who died in 1908. I did not know he was a Bootmaker there, so that is good.

Regards
Lorayne
