Background Photo's

No more progress in identifying the names so far. It is possible that I could be wrong in expecting the names to be either Naval or Officers. It appears at some point over a 1000 men were held and even if they were officers the camp also held servants who most likely came from the lower ranks(This is a different time after all).

But as part of my research I did come across an interesting book called German Prisoners of Great Britain which showed the prisoner conditions in Donington Hall (among others). It would be nice to think that some of the names memorialised in Castle Donington appear in these photo's, but that is probably too much to ask. The book itself is almost certainly a propaganda item, but like all such material probably contains some truths.

Anyway I display them here for information
