First World War Internee Otto Constanz Boeckling, Knockaloe Camp, Isle of Man

Date(s): ?1918

Scope & Content: the identification as Otto Constanz Boeckling is derived from the prisoner number 21862 which is marked on the glass plate, and comparison with the repatriation lists on the ICRC website. His Red Cross information bureau number was 12985.

Otto Constanz Boeckling was married in Glasgow in 1906. He was a Hotel Cook at the Great Western Hotel, Oban. His bride Hannah Matheson was a hospital nurse. It would appear from the Home Office HO396 index cards on Ancestry that he was registered as an enemy alien again in 1939. One card states exempted from internment but it is not clear if that was later revoked, so may also have been interned in the Second World War. Address in 1939: 233 Cambridge Street, Glasgow. Occupation: Chef (unemployed/invalid). Born Neidersenters 22.3.1878.
