2. We have been told there is a box of records at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission at Maidenhead with a complete record of deaths of the "F" and "H" Force, with 73 pages. They are not always open to the public - but worth trying
3 .Probably the most accurate information as to
what camps POWs were in, may well come out of the 1945 Liberation Questionnaires
[WO 345 PRO] at the National Archives - while the forms are generally
poorly filled, the POW camps with dates were accurately completed.
