Oh dear... Trying to attach an image but I'm such a technophobe. Anyway, I found him in the Red Cross records:

Also, checking the archives in Berlin; I know that there was an ill thought of doctor, Julius Weiler, who ran a so-called sanatorium. There were several deaths, sadly, and many could have been attributed to the poor care they received at Weiler's hands. It was a revelation to learn that he died in the camp.

Indeed Sonia
A place that can capture one and time has no watch on it,when I was last there a few Years ago I went to find stuff for myself and ended up looking at so many different Reels of stuff it was most interesting ,well worth a good day out!
Hope you come up with some good info on your quest! Good Hunting and do let us know how you get on!
Cheers

Thanks, Doc.

As mentioned, I've been researching this for more than 2 years now. But, tt never ceases to amaze that there are more stones to turn over...

Seems that a lot is now beginning to surface Sonia
as said I wish you the best at the Archives
That site is a good one as well for future interest to others that may also have similar things to search for thanks for that as well
Cheers

Would like to share: I found 2 lists of British ships impounded in German waters, but need to work out how to attach Word docs...

I found this thread while searching for info about my Great-Great-Grandfather, Robert Bowditch. Just over a year ago I had applied to the CWG to request that his name, which had been left off by mistake, be included in the list of WW1 deaths. At the time they could not add him as they needed a death certificate which no one could find. However yesterday I got an email that my appeal a year ago to consider his case on grounds of the other evidence (like archives of cables mentioning his death) has now been successful and he has been added.

We are keen to continue to find out more about his life and fate, so if anyone has managed to find any more information in the last 5 years since this post was made about him or the crew of the Sappho we would be greatful to hear it!

Thanks
