    3. Hi Lola, Make a search using google or one of the other search engines for POWs or Prisoners of War you should get results that will help you find out more that way. My father was a POW in WWII of the German but was held in a camp in Poland, my sister found other children of other POWs who had been in the same camp as my father by searching the internet via google. I don't have the URLs of the sites they used and I think they no longer correspond with the people they contacted. My sister did however find out quite a bit about the camp, the inspections by the Red Cross which were carried out, all about the work camps that our dad was sent to and lots of information. I think there was a mailing list or forum attached to that site whre they corresponded with the other descendants of POWs, Whether there will be so much for WWI I don't know but I imagine there will be some useful information out there it just needs finding. The best way is to search the internet but check out the sources of anythingyou do find, not all that you read on the net is based on what really took place. Be Wary! You could also Imperial War Museum at Lambeth London holds displays now and then on both world wars and they must have information too. Make a search to see if they have a website which could details the kind of thing they have for WWI. Good Luck Jenny DeAngelis.
