	Do anyone know how I would go about finding information about someone that was a POW in WW2? Are there any sites you could recommend? Thanks Jackie

I found my dads one but unlucky in tracing one for another member here. If you would like me to check the documents out for you I am going to the NA between Christmas and the New Year. It's also worth searching on the NA site as they hold other documents and diarys from POWs in WW2 and you may find something interesting there.
