    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

    Capt Bill wanderin off at a tangent

    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 :unsure:

    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. Login -Timeframes website.
