Have you tried to find if he gave any POW questuionnaire after his liberation? I have the medals of a man who probably was captured in this incident, but difficult to know for sure.

I'm sure Swiper would know, Lars. He does not visit the Forum very often but when I get home I'll try to contact him for you.

I will check the missing files in the morning….haven't we mentioned "Wood" before?
Your correct when I was looking for Fusilier Nimmon they were both in Stallag 11b,why I was asking who got captured was in a way to confirm in my mind it was them mentioned in the diary.
According to the Missing list 3 x men were taken prisoner in that action from D Coy 7RWF at Westelbeer:
14584004 Fus Podmore L
3455099 Fus Austin CC
14629159 Fus Curtis
As mentioned, three others were killed. Whitehead, Francis and Fairclough.

My mans name is Isaac, and has a slightly later date on his questionnaire - 25/9. Could be either 4th or 6th btn also.
Thanks for posting the missing list!

Thanks for your informative and interesting reply and yes it appears my father was reported missing 25sept1944 and he was in the 6th.I was just wondering what he went through at the time of capture.Once again .Many thanks.
Ok i'm confused now. Have you got the details of your fathers capture? Remind me who your father was?
I'll see if I can find him Lars, a few from the 6th taken on that day.Quote:
