I now have his army number, his POW number, the name of the camp he was in (Stalag xxb) and his regiment (cameron highlanders). In itself, this isn't a lot of information but I assume I can use this to find out more about him. It was a period in his life that he never ever talked about and I would love to discover more. Could anyone tell me what the next step is here and what I can do with this information? Any advice would be much appreciated! Kirsten
