Dieppe POWs

[George]

My uncle, Robert Adams was also a POW as a result of the Dieppe raid. He was a sapper and a sergeant. Badly wounded, his life was saved by German doctors. The family history says that he was repatriated on a Red Cross exchange before the war ended. He did lose one eye and succumbed to shrapnel in his heart about 10 yrs after the war.
I have been trying to find out where he may have been interned. I see from a post on this thread that he may have been at Lamsdorf.
Any suggestions as to how I would trace his war experience after Dieppe?

He returned to Winnipeg after the war but died of tuberculosis on Aug. 23 1948 and now rests in Brookside cemetery, Winnipeg.

Charles James Stocks is my Uncle (my mother's brother)! My mother was Mary Jean Stocks and she passed away in January 1991.

I found your post rather intriguing, as it listed my mother's immediate family (parents and siblings).

Thanks!
