Hi Kyt, It is another of the peculiarities of the E & E Reports. If you Evaded for a while before being Captured or Interned, MI9 were interested and you made a Report as an Evader.These are in the WO 208 Escapers and Evaders Files. In many cases there were men who Escaped and were hidden locally until Liberated by advancing Armies. In most cases they didn't make an Escapers Report,but made an MI9 Liberation Report in WO344. Those who were P.O.W. in Italy until the Armistace, then made their way to Switzerland where they were interned made a Report in WO208. All 4,100 of them. So yes you are Right they would have been interned. MI9 would have wanted to know such things as Routes Taken,who helped and what use if any were the Escape Aids they were issued. | |||||||||||||||

Kew is in West London, and T.N.A. are The National Archives at KEW. The References used are the Catalogues by name of Escapers and Evaders Reports I have created. Information can be found without travelling to London and thumbing through page after page. There are 97 Files in total that names were extracted from. Took about 18 months as I live over 150mls from Kew. T.N.A. wanted copies but didn't want to pay me for the work. Needless to say they haven't got copies. | |||||||||||||||
