Hi, I recently found military service records for one of my ancestors on ancestry.co.uk. On about the third page in it says that he was a prisoner of war, but I cannot make out the name of the Place. Then below that it states Repatriated Prisoner of War. I do not have much knowledge about prisoners of war, especially WW1 i was just wondering if anyone could help me identify the place that he was held and tell me any info about prisoners of war at this time that could help me ? Here is the link to the record if any of you have access to ancestry and would like to take a look
