Anyway I have looked at PoW Spreadhseet first 200 names and it appears only 1 without full ID

his service number was down wrong as 61686 but I think Loss cards and subsequent checks confirm it as 961686 please note he exchanged ID with

PAYNE J F 0 1941-09-03 Sgt RAF 83 Sqdn 961686 Exchanged identity with Gnr Edward F Parnell RA No. 826940 PoW No.9343 357 9543 DC AE315

Any idea who he could be thanks paul
