Farkas Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi Gents I picked this up recently..., To me, it appears to have a breakdown of prisioners taken up until the 1st November 1914. Again, to me, it looks as though written in Munich on the 8th November and stamped the same day. It also has a postal stamp. It is not marked Feldpost and doesn’t seem to be an official correspondence. the numbers quoted are: 3138 officers and 188618 men French 3121 officers and 186779 men Russian 537 officers and 34907 men Belgian 417 officers and 15730 men English total: 7213 officers and 426034 men Overall total: 433247 At a glance the ratio of officers is far higher for the Brits at about 1:40 compared to about 1:60 for the French and Russians, nearer 70 for the Belgians.... Rough maths but quite a difference I think.... ——————— Hope you like Gents tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
