[PW] Re: Joseph Pilates

[Bye, Dan J]

The British National Archives have a helpful webpage on first and second world war internees here:
 
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/Leaflets/ri2158.htm
 
It describes the research resources that are available.
 
It notes that "Very few records of individual internees survive for the First World War.", but gives details of some specimen lists that you can request.

All:

My colleagues have been working on a question about Joseph Pilates, the inventor of the Pilates method. During  World War I he was supposedly interned in a prisoner of war camp (possibly in Lancashire). The patron would like to know the name or location of the camp, and which government ministry had jurisdiction over POW camps (I assume the Home Office, but I have no verification for that).

We have had no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Kevin
