Thanks again Wendy, very insightful photos. I must say the church service photo of the last lot is great. A chapter of my honours thesis is on religion and prisoners of war in Italy so fits in well, just a pity the photo is from Germany.
No worries, I'm sure my supervisor wouldn't be any the wiser if I told her it was from Italy Great stories there Wendy, medicine was definitely one of those things prisoners of war struggled to get in any useful quantity where ever they were.
Wendy - on your posting #14 - the centre photo is of a group of Scots and the chap kneeling - far right - appears to be wearing a Scottish Football Jersey - blue with white collar and Lion rampant badge - Cheers
These photos were taken inside a hospital, but I'm not sure whether the hospital was actually in the POW camp. The notes are from the back of the hospital ward photo, and include a name/address, and other items which appear to be medical notes jotted down. must be a hospital and not the camp the uncovered black bed on the end is actually a birthing /delivery / gynae bed
Hi Wendy, While searching for Italian prisoner of war camp photos on timeframes I come across some photos from Stalag 18A which have a striking resemblance to the initial photos you posted. There are three named photographers. J.K. Welch, J. Ledgerwood and T. Williams. Heres a couple of samples. Easiest way to find them is to search "Stalag 18A" on timeframes and follow the tags.
