Hello,
A quick bit of research shows he was 48389 Pte. Frank BORRILL, ending up in the 13th (S)Bn. Yorks Regt.

Didnt go overseas before 1.1.1916 as he is not entitled to a 1915 Star.

I cant find any record of a Frank or F. Borrill being a POW in WW1?

1911 cencus shows only 2 Frank Borrills.

One same age as you say is called Frank Wainer Borrill, b. 18.9.1899
the other is younger,
Frank Borrill b. 18.2.1905 so couldnt have served in the war.

Both with a Lincolnshire connection, the younger one born in Doncaster.

Any of those details fit?

regards
