This may work for me as well as a starting place. I read this morning an article that said the England Red Cross was at the Franco Prussian war sites. They carefully recorded the information about each person, birthplace, regiment numbers, then put them into registers. They recorded every change. ambulance to hospital or transfer.As a prisonor. About the death. About his relics and returned them to friends.His burial or destination. Then the copies of the records were sent to London. I believe I had been told this before. Now maybe I will have better luck and remember it as i continue to search later on again. Also,I should search the military archives.
Thanks. Though not meant for me. Hope it helps some one else too. Has it worked for anyone else searching for his sick or wounded soldier in france in that war.?
