Old Front Line
WW1 Podcast with Paul Reed
Questions and Answers Episode 13
This week we answer questions about British Prisoners of War held in Switzerland, ask what kind of permission you need to explore the fields and woods across the landscape of the Great War, discuss if any Estaminets survive from the Great War and look at events on the Somme on 1st July 1916 and what the experience of soldiers was on that evening as darkness fell.
Red Cross Records from WW1 are found here: Red Cross Prisoner of War Records.

Paul,
A book by Sarah Paterson, “Tracing your prisoners of war ancestors, The First World War” published by Pen and Sword, might be of interest to those listeners interested in this subject.
