	I know WW2 POW records are on FMP & Ancestry, but i don't know about WW1, in fact i have never come across these records, also if any are available they are very sketchy. Have a look at this link does give a very good explanation about WW1 POW records, and what might be found. http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch/tomspage19.html George
