There are 84 men on this list of men from the Royal Engineers who were captured by the Germans on or before Christmas Day 1914. This data has been transcribed from the following Imperial War Museum collections:
B.O.2 1/179 is a 4-page typed list of Royal Engineers who were PoWs prior to 25th December 1914. List sent by captain for colonel in charge of Infantry Records, Chatham, 11th January 1919
B.O.2 1/180 is a 3-page typed list of Royal Engineers who were PoWs prior to 25th December 1914. List sent by the Royal Engineers Prisoners of War Committee, Brompton Barracks, Chatham on 20th December 1918
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.
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 is free; finding your man is another matter entirely.
I research soldiers!
