Report(Record ?) Allied Prisoners ...... of War ?

Found a site which has :
" an edited roll of 278 men serving with the Scots Guards, who were captured by the enemy and became Prisoners of War on or before the 25th December 1914."

It lists 8632 Guardsman W Neat (no other initial).

It also notes :
"This data has been transcribed from the following source at the Imperial War Museum:

1. B.O.2 1/69. This is a 6-page typed list to Sir Enest Goodhart sent from the officer i/c records, Scots Guards, Buckingham Gate, London SW1 dated 10th January 1921".

The International Committee of the Red Cross website indicates that the second number is :

"Reference number of the list containing the prisoner's name"

NB. "Some cards indicate a reference number but this register does not exist any more. So, you will find no more information about this person."
