    Hi Judi

    Welcome

    You mean this record:
    UK, British Prisoners of War, 1939-1945
    Name: G C Pearce
    Rank: Sapper
    Army Number: 1885447
    Regiment: Royal Engineers
    POW Number: 2282
    Camp Type: Stalag
    Camp Number: XVIII-A
    Camp Location: Wolfsberg, Austria
    Record Office: Royal Engineers Record Office, Ditchling Road, Brighton, Sussex
    Record Office Number: 9

    You can apply for his service records - Request records of deceased service personnel - GOV.UK

    You can also check out to see if he filled in a Liberation Questionaire - POW Liberation Questionnaires - Arcre

    As it seems he survived the war then there is little else on Ancestry that you can find about his military service.
    Once you have his service records - unless you already have them - I would suggest you can then look into the various War Diaries which will tell you generally where he was and was he was doing up to the point of his capture.

    If he is still alive then download the forms for his service record and fill them in his name - they will be free for him, just make sure he signs them
