Royal Marines - Other Rank PoWs 1914


The 333 men on this list were all serving with the Royal Marines when they were captured in 1914. The data comes from two sources now archived at the Imperial War Museum:

  • B.O.2 1/187 is a 117-page typed list of Royal Naval Division men taken prisoner before Christmas 1914
  • B.O.2 1/223 is a nine-page typed document sent by the Adjutant General, Royal Marines. Dated 13th January 1919.  Information noted in "Other Information" is "Present Disposal" 
My full transcription of these men (not reproduced here) also contains the home address and/or next of kin address of all of the men, plus date of birth and peacetime occupation for some.

The full transcription is available for sale for £20. Contact me if you would like to purchase a copy.

For more information about these so-called 'Princess Mary tin PoWs' see my 1914 PoWs page. Any transcription errors are my own.

Royal Naval Division - Ratings PoWs 1914


These 721 men of the Royal Naval Division are mostly, if not all, part of the party which was interned in Holland when they were compelled to cross the Dutch border in October 1914. Read more about this episode and their subsequent incarceration HERE

I have transcribed this data from the following Imperial War Museum collections:
  • B.O.2 1/187: a 117-page typed list of Royal Naval Division men taken prisoner before Christmas 1914.
  • B.O.2 1/198: a typed list of Royal Naval Division men who were taken prisoner up to and including December 1914 and who have since died in captivity.
  • B.O.2 1/204: a typed list of Royal Naval Division men who were taken prisoner up to and including December 1914. These names are "taken from c/c cards not on R/O list"
  • B.O.2.1/206: a two-page typed list of Royal Naval Division men who were taken prisoner up to and including December 1914.  Submitted on 10th Feb 1919 by The Admiralty

My full transcription of these men (not reproduced here) also contains the home address and/or next of kin address of all of the men, plus date of birth and peacetime occupation for some.

The full transcription is available for sale for £30. Contact me if you would like to purchase a copy.

Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers - Other Rank PoWs 1914


There are 102 men on this list of men from the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers who were captured by the Germans on or before Christmas Day 1914. I have transcribed this data from the following Imperial War Museum collection:

B.O.2 1/141: a 7-page typed list sent to Sir Ernest Goodhart, date unknown.

My full transcription of these men (not reproduced here) also contains the home address and/or next of kin address and date of capture of all of the men. 

The full transcription is available for sale for £20. Contact me if you would like to purchase a copy.

For more information about these so-called 'Princess Mary tin PoWs' see my 1914 PoWs page. The majority of these men will also have records published by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Searching the website is free; finding your man can be somewhat more challenging.
