Whilst looking through some old photos that my late mother in law left me thre was one postcard with a picture of a wife and child addressed to the following
Wife and child of
5689 sgt J R Kay(it could be Hay)
1st East Lancs rgt
British Prisoner of War
Jennelager?
2rd Old English Camp
via Paderlr---

could any of you history buffs out there help me out as I am trying to trace the connection between my mother in law and this photo.She came from Ripon but used to stay with relatives in Lancashire

There is a Joseph KAY in the East Lancs, on the Clayton le Moors R-O-H at 79 Barnes St.

No proof yet, if they are the same man.
There was a list in the A.O. & T., of returning P.O.W.'s, in January 1919 his name is not amongst them.
Have you a picture of him that you could post on the list.
Are you sure its Jennelager and not Sennelager.

Your Paderlr_ _ _ is probably Paderborn which is a town in Germany. Sennelager is close to it.
