The ICRC POW record, which incorrectly lists him under Dickinson shows him as being interned at Cottbus on 20th of September 1918 having been moved from Munster II. A family story handed down is that he was tortured during his internment, which involved the removal or pulling of all of his finger and toe nails. He returned from the war without the use of his legs. He lived with one of his brothers, James in Kilburn, North London, where he used to propel himself about on a small wheeled trolley. He died in February 1947, age 68. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
