WWI Prisoner of War Collection with Letter From Buckingham Palace
This collection of (40) photos and documents will astound you! These came from a survivor of a P.O.W. camp. Photos are curled severely, but condition is unimportant -- consider the content. All the horrific detail is captured - powerful photos, unbelievable acts committed - viewing is not for the weak. See prisoners of war executed by stretching; "death of 1,000 cuts" (Chinese tortures); beheadings; fields of fallen soldiers at the hands of Chinese generals and troops; civilian rebel women & children executed by shooting; we can go on but we won't. This comes with a letter handwritten by King George of England to the surviving prisoner. Also included are various military documents regarding the P.O.W., Private D. Slaven. These include a Duty Certificate, a letter to the Ministry of Labor, a letter from the Infantry Record Office, and a German note - most in poor condition - but you can see the significance. These are encased in an antique Allied Commodores wooden cigar box in Excellent condition with working clasp.
