Joseph Reilly
It appears that Joseph Reilly was captured at Hilloch in France on 11th of May 1916 and was taken to Douai, some 30 km away (about 20 miles), a Prisoner of War Camp, and arrived there on 15th of May 1916, this was listed in a POW prisoners document dated 7th of June 1916. Joseph, was then moved to Dulmen POW camp which was in Germany where he was to stay until August 1916.A Prisoner of War list dated 9th of August 1916, from Minden POW camp, showing that Joseph had now been moved there from Dulmen POW camp. A document, dated, 13th of August 1916, shows that Joseph was previously Reported Missing, but then reported prisoner of war in documents released by the German Government By May of 1917 Joseph had moved camps again, this time to Friedrichsfeld, it appears that when he arrived he was suffering from a broken shoulder.
A document released reports when Joseph had been released from being a Prisoner of War, and was returned to England. The 2nd of December 1918 this shows the date Joseph was demobbed from the Army on 21st of March 1919
