Could any kind person who has access to Ancestry please look up the Prisoner of War record for Frederick Lingard who was captured in 1941 and taken to a camp in Austria. Apparently they give

Regiment, Army Numbe,POW Number and Camp Number. No other site has this information.

Many thanks,
Ian Crichton
