Hi all,
I've been looking for information on my grandfather. He was a POW during WWII. I know he was a POW, I've seen a news paper article that was clipped but that article from some unknown paper has gone missing (unfortunate surprise). I have been looking for my grand fathers POW records since I was able to get into records to do ancestry and do searches on him. He was either a POW in Germany or Japan, though I am not sure which one...and I am not sure when he got out. Sadly his name is common (Frank Smith). At the time he should have been from Connecticut I believe. I've checked everywhere, does any one know of any foreign records of prisoners? This has to be documented somewhere if I have seen the article and know it has existed before. It makes me want to bang my head against a wall in frustration!
POW Location: Japan or Germany
Living in: Connecticut I believe at the time
Name: Frank Smith
Originally was pronounced dead at one time but was found at a hospital by his brother later on
