	As far as I know my grandfather was interned during WW2 as an 'enemy alien'. I think he was interned on the Isle of Man. Are their any accessable records of this anywhere? Many thanks.

They only managed to tell me that my grandfather was there in WW1 and his prisoner of war number but at least it confirmed he was there. Best wishes, Bernie
