Schweidnitz POW camp escapes and escapades WWI

We are a group of interested relatives of those British, NZ, Canadian and Australian allies who spent time in this Schweidnitz POW camp during WWI. In particular, we are interested in gathering information on the escape of 24 men on the night of 19th March 1918 and other aspects of camp life. The men were eventually recaptured and sent to the notorious Holzminden POW camp until repatriation after Armistice.

    Thank you for sending this message to me. My Grandfather, on my mother's side, was Ernest Michael Murphy and I have been in touch with John Copeland in the past but sadly don't think I have been much help.
    On the other side of my family a distant relative has been researching and has traced, so far, back to Norway in 875. I have just started reading his book, The de Lacy Chronicles by Roy Lacy
