  Pte. Matthew M. Kerr Company E 106th Infantry Regiment

Matthew Kerr served with the U.S. 106th Infantry Regiment, a part of the U.S. 27th Division, assigned to the British 4th Army.

He was captured on 27th of September 1918 during the 106th's assault on the Hindenburg Line near Bony, France. A total of 132 soldiers from the 106th were captured during the assault on the Hindenburg Line near Bony and the St. Quentin Canal Tunnel. He was sent to the Dulmen POW camp and held there until after the Armistice. He made one escape from Dulmen and was recaptured, before he could cross the boarder into the Netherlands. His release date from Dulmen is unknown, however he left Rotterdamn on 5th of December, 1918 and arrived Hull, England on 7th of December, 1918. He returned to the 106th in the LeMans, France area by Christmas, 1918.

I have been able to get some records from the ICRC archives, but I am still looking for, his actual release date from Dulmen, details on how he got from Dulmen to Rotterdam, the name of the ship sailing from Rotterdam to Hull (5-7 Dec. 1918) carrying other repatriated POWs, details of movement and transport from Hull to LeMans, and pictures from Dulmen during October and November 1918. Any help with the above is very appreciated.
