Hi Matt
Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure what records are held by the ICRC. From my research with the National Archives I understand that all records on Italian POWs were transferred to the Ministry of Defence in Italy. I think that you then need to apply for info from the MOD, proving kinship ...

Hi Matt
I have tried the ICRC but they can't give out any info without names etc. I'm trying to find a list of names or something...

Hi Matt

Thanks for getting in touch. I've got no further in my research but am still trying. I'd love to hear your story and hope I can help although the info I have is limited

Andrea

I posted a request sometime ago and am trying once again...

i am trying to locate anyone with memories of Italian POWs based at camps in North Lincolnshire, UK, particularly Camp 81 and Camp 148. i understand that the POWs would have been repatriated from a camp in Selby, Yorkshire. UK. i wish to ...

i posted a message some time ago. i am searching for my grandfather who was an Italian POW based at a camp in Lincolnshire .From reading the ICRC website i think that, without a name, i will be unable to find a list of POWs in the area. i am hoping that i will find someone locally who remembers the ...

In the meantime, I certainly think that you would be able to obtain relevant info from the electoral register for Standon Friars in Hertfordshire. Perhaps the names on the postcard (mrs Sager/ Hilda Williams??) would be listed at the address 3 Will Font Green. An ordnance survey map would be able to ...

Could it be Hilda Williamson?

Andrea

Looking at the address on the postcard it seems to be Standon Friars , Hertfordshire. There is such a place. Have you tried looking on an ordnance survy map of the area in circa 1940? Also could you access the electoral register to find who lived at the address- 3 Will Font Green. Is the name Mrs G ...

Did you manage to get any help from the Italian TV station? Ihave been searching for records of \italian POWs in the UK and have yet to obtain a list of names. My grandfather was a POW based in Lincolnshire.


Thanks

Andrea

I am trying to contact any of the following Italian POWs or relatives who were based at camps in Lincolnshire, Britain during the second world war:

Antonio Farrucci

Silvio de Ferriter

John Scaraggi

Vittorio Bartalotta

i am not sure if i have spelt the names correctly. I am trying to trace ...

Ada

Do you know if the Red Cross can provide a general list of POWs?

Andrea

has anyone successfully obtained a list of POWs from the ICRC without knowing the name? i have looked at the request form and note that names etc are required. Andrea

thank you from me, also. Andrea

Peter - i note in a previous message you advise that I D be sent to obtain repatriation records as it may be difficult to obtain details if not a relative. Andrea

i am not suggesting a conspiracy, rather questioning how accessible such records are to members of the general public
