Extract from WO392/1 - British Army POWs held in Germany.

The first column indicates the camp in which he was held - Stalag 4C Wistritz, bei Teplice [the camp can be identified as a Stalag as there is no prefix letter before the 4]
The second column is the PoW number.
The seventh column is the code allocated to the Records Office - 22 = Infantry Record Office, Exeter.

Thanks Nick.

I have updated our ROH page for him with that information. His brother also died in the war. Follow this link for our entry:
