There are 388 men on this list of men from the Royal Dublin 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 1/60: an 11-page listing of Royal Dublin Fusiliers taken PoW before 25th December 1914. List submitted to Sir Ernest Goodhart on the 6th January 1919.
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 £25. 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!

I just found my Great Granduncle Corporal Bryan Phelan 11394 on your list, captured on 27th August 1914, spent the entire war as POW. I only just discovered his history recently with 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers so, despite his hardships, I am very proud of him.
And so you should be, Joe. He would have had a tough four and half years but at least he survived to tell the tale.
