RASC Driver R. H. Webb POW Italy

Came across this picture of Driver Webb. Did he make it back home?

Edited: must have survived, no entry on CWGC.

 

Here he is on the WO392/21 listings for August 1943. Sadly there is no camp against his name.

 

Thanks for adding that extra bit of information. Maybe a relative in the future maybe looking for his history. A photo and now his service number might help get them on the right track.

Edit: found him, POW # 225297, Stalag Camp 4C, Wistritz bei Teplitz

 

True enough amberdog45,

I have had a run of families asking for help recently, but all are lacking a service number or an accurate date of death to apply for service records held at Glasgow. Its always nice to piece things together in such a way, as shown above.

Best wishes

Steve my subscription is good until 2 Sept, is there anybody I can look up for you?

 

R H Webb in the UK, British Prisoners of War, 1939-1945

Name: R H Webb
Rank: Driver
Army Number: T/4800470
Regiment: Royal Army Service Corps
POW Number: 225297
Camp Type: Stalag
Camp Number: IV-C
Camp Location: Bystrice, Czech Republic
Record Office: Royal Army Service Corps Record Office, Ore Place, Hastings, Sussex
Record Office Number: 29

If any more info is found on him we can fill out the details further, I have looked for births in Washingborough, Lincs, but there were no results as yet. Although there are several born in the UK but with other names as well so difficult to be accurate.

Bamboo - you can always PM to see what info is around that may help - perhaps nothing, perhaps something

 

That's very kind of you. Most of the men in question were not POW's, the families have not got too much to go on, sometimes not even the regiment.

Thanks again.

 

Thanks TD.
