Conflicting information on that site according to this section he isn't dead??? http://powbooks.atspace.co.uk/page139.html Kyle
Blimey, Kyle. I have never seen such a contradiction before. I did a bit of a search of Castleford War Memorials and found a William Nodder, but he is listed as WWI War Dead: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/caspc.htm Nothing on CWGC for WWI though. This is all rather weird... Probably needs a viewing of the applicable 'Missing Files' at the National Archives. Best, Steve.
Maybe a simple misprint? I`ve done a check on the Pow number its assigned to the DLI but not to William Nodder? Name: G Robinson Rank: Lance Serjeant Army Number: 4464826 Regiment: Durham Light Infantry POW Number: 226356 Camp Type: Stalag Camp Number: IV-B Camp Location: Mühlberg, Elbe, Brandenburg Record Office: Infantry and Army Educational Corps Record Office, York Record Office Number: 20 Kyle Edit;-Looking at the site again perhaps not a misprint as this guys PoW history is below Nodders profile and (apart from the PoW number) is completely different??
