    German POWs in France 1914-1918


    Recommended Posts

    I picked up 2 pictures today which may be of interest to you..

    A German POW had his photo taken in the POW Camp at Miramas in Southern France (far away from the front lines). Pictures like these were sent to his family by support of the Red Cross, as evidence that their relative was alive and well. It is intersting to note that he is not wearing his Original uniform, but a kind of fatigues, market PG (Prisonnier de Guerre).

    A post card, sent 5 Sept. 1915 by the German POW Emil Schütz from his prison depot in Romans (Dept. Drôme). The building was previous a School Pratique.
