Tinks, do you know his army number, if so go to National Archives and see if you can find him. as for prison during the war deserters were shot or imprisoned, which war first or second, if it was the first war a lot of records were destroyed in a fire, I think something like 60%. Good luck Rod

I think the Police Gazette published lists of deserters.
