I have a photo of a prisoner of war . How do I find out who it is.?

Question

I have a photo of a prisoner of war my aunts hubby took in France. How could I find out about this photo and who this gent was? I wonder if he made it back or if he was lost over there.

Answer 1

The International Red Cross in Geneva may be able to help. They're rather slow though.
If you know the country the POW is from, you may try contacting their Red Cross organisation

Answer 2

I ask you, why would you want to know? If that were your brother, husband, father, wouldnt you want that picture to be treated with respect and reverance. I suppose you could ask someone at a local VFW (veterens of foreign wars). Good Luck.
