POW Records from ЦАМО and ГАРФ Archives

This collection presents six individual prisoner-of-war records sourced from the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (ЦАМО) and the State Archive of the Russian Federation (ГАРФ). The records provide biographical and service details for Soviet POWs who were held in camps in the Yorkshire and Staffordshire regions of England. These individuals are associated with burial sites at Beverley (East Yorkshire) and Cannock Chase (Staffordshire). The archival documents include personal data such as full names, ranks, dates and places of birth, military units, dates and circumstances of capture, camp assignments, and — where known — dates and causes of death. These records complement the CWGC-confirmed burial data and provide essential context for understanding the fate of Soviet servicemen who were captured and subsequently died in British captivity during World War II.
