Frederick Ernest Kennett

I hope I am sending this request to the right place.

I am hoping you can add my Dad’s name to the list of VIIIB prisoners.

Frederick Ernest Kennett. 2nd Battalion Gloucester Regt. Service No 5183766.

Captured at Cassel 30.05.1940. Prisoner No 10972.

Repatriated 15/16 Sept 1944. I think this was via Sweden I believe on SS DROTTNINHOLM maybe MS GRIPSHOLM postcards of both ships amongst the few items relating to this period of his life that I found recently.
