Pte. John Leonard Ingram
British Army 10th (Battersea) Btn. West Surrey Regiment (Queens)
from:Cowes, IOW
My Grandfather Len Ingram, who I knew well, went missing between the 21st of March 1918 and 1st of April 1918 when he was taken prisoner and sent to Parchim POW camp and later to Friedrichsfeld POW camp near Wesel. He got back home to England sometime in January 1919.
I have a fascinating collection of his letters and post cards he sent to his mother during that time so the time line can be traced, also records of things that his mother tried to send to him in the way of receipts and his agonizingly slow trip back home to England after Armistice.
