Description

This subsubseries contains numbered interrogation reports (with S.I.R. references) of enemy prisoners of war interviewed at the Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (UK) - C.S.D.I.C.(U.K.).

The reports are in a variant layout and length, but usually start by recording details of the enemy prisoner being interviewed; for example: name, rank, unit, number, where and when captured and transferred from (although the name of the prisoner is not always given). The reports vary in their detail, and generally concern a wide-range of enemy military issues; many include sketch maps, plans and diagrams of military equipment, etc.

Note: the composition or layout of the original (former) references is variant in terms of spaces, brackets and slashes.
