German Prisoners in Great Britain
Tillotson & Son Art Printers, Bolton & London, nd., ca.1917?, 8"x10-1/2", wraps, 62pp., all photos of happy, frollicing german POWs. Photos originally taken for the Wurtemberg War Exhibition by the photographic section of the Royal Flying Corps. covers detached but present, badly waterstained, pages damaged from peeling apart - some peel-marked, some torn. Damage largely confined to margins, but not entirely. What redeems this at all is the quality of the photos - mostly half-page & very clear, not at all the newspaper quality reproduction one sometime gets in WWI pictorials. So still usable & interesting, but very poor condition. $

In April 1925, Abd-el-Krim invaded French Morocco with a large army, trained in part by German WW I veterans and Legion deserters.
