Wigney:<br /><br />Barber,Thomas, John: #100315; Pte; 49th Bn; POW Dec.14/16:<br />Rel Dec.9/18; SOS Cornwall, Eng Apr.15/19, moved to USA<br /><br />The Canadian service records are in the process of being freely digitalized and available later in the year. They will be found at the same on-line location where you obtained his attestation papers. His service record will detail all the camps he was held in. As well there is a website sponsored by the International Red Cross Prisoners of War where you can order the Red Cross records which might be more detailed. Other than waiting for his service records, you might want to try locating him on Ancestry.com focussing on Canada and the USA.<br /><br />Regards<br />Bob<br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981264560557679910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482177653150365575.post-45392190209049023892014-06-02T12:22:19.531-07:002014-06-02T12:22:19.531-07:00I would like to find army details of my grandfathe...I would like to find army details of my grandfather Thomas John Barber we know he was in the Canadian Army signed up in 1915 as we have his attestation paper. We heard through the family he ended up as a prisoner of war in Germany before he was released. We know he was in UK in 1937 as he got married that year but know very little of what happened to him from 1915 until 1937. I have looked at the various sites but can't find him in Germany. What do I do next. I would love his army records as he never spoke about the war to my mother and family and we all know so very little. Any information would be greatly appreciated.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783385670100200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482177653150365575.post-79824709691148379782014-06-01T12:02:01.555-07:002014-06-01T12:02:01.555-07:00Hi, re Thomas John Barber please reply.

Little is known about Ernest (George) Hills born around 1890 and possibly one of the home children sent to Canada before 1912. He survived the war and is beleived to have been gassed at or near Vimy Ridge and later wounded (in the leg) and captured by the Germans. He was a member of the territorial army (home guard) in WW2 stationed outside London UK. I have drawn a complete blank on the limited info available to me and its only recently just before my mother passed away that info that he was a prisoner in WW1 has been mentioned in the family. Any help would be appreciated.
