Do you know what battalion of the Dukes he served with, where and when he was captured? If not as mentioned Service Records are the way forward. If you can get to London you could check to see if he completed a PoW Liberation Report. This will tell you when he was captured, where, what camps he was in etc etc.

Cheers
