hello all, I'm looking for lists of British POW's taken at Dieppe during the raid? I want to cross reference this with my lists for the Royal Scots Fusiliers, who after Dunkirk seem to have flocked to No3 Commando to get their own back! any help would be very appreciated. cheers Iain
The casualty lists on Find my Past may give you some idea if you input the unit details . May not give you all ,and may be a trawl but it`s a start? Kyle

I have the Phantom details somewhere of KIA and POW. Not many, but it'll be an obscure one that most wouldn't know/care/miss. Leave it with me.
"J" Squadron, GHQ Liaison Regiment "Phantom" Phantom Patrol landed with No 3 Commando, Lt Hillerns, KIA Cpl Masterson, Wounded and taken prisoner. L/Cpl Craggs, KIA Gnr Richardson, Wounded and taken prisoner. The Patrol with the Canadians never made it to shore. The Patrol with No 4 Commando landed and were subsequently evacuated.
I have been adding details of commando prisoners of war from all commando units which can be found on the Commando Veterans Archive either here: Prisoners of War | ͏ They are a work in progress so also check out the No.3 Cdo nominal Roll and the No.3 Commando archive here: 3 Commando | ͏ Finally some of the Commandos who took part in Operation Jubilee: Pages that link to Dieppe - Operation Jubilee | ͏
