Missing from Grandegueŕre listing

Can anyone find 10/14200 Henry Keers Chambers of Royal Irish Rifles as POW in WW1 on Grandeguerre Listings?

I can't see him there.
What do you have that says he's a POW?
According to his MIC he went into Class Z in March 1919.

Forget that I've just found him.

OK had a look at the 10th. & they were disbanded in Feb. 1918.
Found this chap who may be the same (or not) in the 15th. RIR.
His middle name is very similar.
Could be a red herring.

Yes I saw that possible when searching and wondered
But couldn't understand not matching Service Number
Though Names Close.
Story is this Soldier was a POW Twice .

As the 10th. disbanded in Feb. he may have been transferred to the 15th.
& admin hadn't caught up with his move before being captured.
I've just been looking at the 15th. diary for March 1918 & it's absolutely grim.
The 15th. were caught out right at the start of the German Spring Offensive & lost
pretty much the entire Battalion.

I think I know what's happened here.
The 10th. & 15th. were in the same Bde.
As happened with a lot of Bde's Btn's were merged because of the shortage of men.
So Feb. the 10th. was merged with the 15th.
Same name, same rank & captured same day.
Same man.
