Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

I have recently seen through one web site that Rennie Stuttard me grandad Hartley Stuttards step brother was a prisoner of war but have been unable to find out any further info through the sites visited. Can anyone help

This week my husband received a publishers' booklist from 'Naval and Military Press'. It includes an advert for the following book:

John Yarnall, 'Barbed Wire Disease', British and German Prisoners of War, 1914-19

It is described as being:

A comprehensive analysis of the 6.5 million prisoners of war that were being held at the time of Armistice day in 1918. Using unpublished official files and Cabinet papers, it examines all aspects of POW's in World War One.

It is available for £3.95 plus postage (reduced from £12.99)

We haven't seen the book but it looks as though it should provide some interesting background information and may also help you with research sources.

The link to the relevant web page is:

Good luck
