POWs, France, 1940

I won this photo on eBay.

Scanned at 1200 dpi and resized to 1200 width to post here.

I think I bid on that one too can’t win ‘em all! There is already a separate thread for POWs 1940 - maybe the mods will merge this with it.

 

Crikey, that's nice; Lots of interesting details like the blanket roll tied with the '08 pattern 'strap, supporting' and the chap wearing his FS cap with the peak down - not often seen.

Any info on the back ?

 

Rich,

Alas, no information on the back of the photo.

Amazing photo. Those POWs don’t look happy

 

"Those POWs don’t look happy " They certainly don't. Early in the war too.
