Arnhem POW's
« on: Sunday 28 January 07 12:44 GMT (UK) »

Hello again folks,

We've not had much luck with our recent posts but I'm hoping for a link to a resource which must surely exist?

We are looking into a G Uncle who was captured at Arnhem whilst serving in the RASC.

Does anyone know where i can go to learn more?

Hi Andy

There is a tread going on over on the Armed Forces board, which has some links in it which you might want to persue
(don't be put off by the title, the links do relate to WW2)  ;)

L/Cpl H. Underwood, Army No T/169003 R.A.S.C. POW Number 18672, POW Camp (7a) Moosburg (Isar)

You would need to get his service records to confirm this info.

As he passed away some time ago without talking about his experiences Imlikely to be enlightening hois family as well.
