Wondering if anyone can help me with any shortcuts here. Julia's grandfather was the first British POW to escape from a German camp in World War 1 and get back to England. We've got loads of documentary evidence of the escape which happened in March 1916 and intend to get the whole thing up on Wikipedia,etc for the centenary next year. He escaped alongside a French POW whose name we have, and it would be great if we could trace his descendants and get in touch with them. Bit of a long shot this but was wondering if anyone has ever tried to use French military records akin to those now readily available over here?
