WWII POWs on returning to the UK had to fill in a form detailing their capture, camps held in, anything they got up to (escape attempts, sabotage, witnessing war crimes or collboration etc) and release. These forms have now been placed in the National Archive. I have several examples.

I will dig out one out this evening and give you the reference.

p.s. the forms for the Korean War POWs have also been released.

Thank you for a prompt and positive response; it's a shame I never could talk to my father about his military times and now he has gone I am trying to discover the person I never really knew.

I would like to thank all those who have contacted me through the notice board or directly - now I know my father's army and prisoner of war numbers, his rank and where he was imprisoned. 
I have applied to the Army for his Service Record
