Much of what has been written about the treatment of prisoners of
war held by the British suggest that they have often been treated
in a more caring and compassionate way than the prisoners of other
countries. During the First World War, Germans held in Britain were
treated leniently while there were claims of British prisoners
being mistreated in Germany. Was the British sense of fair play
present in the prison camps and did this sense of respect include
the press and public who often called for harsher treatment of
Germans in captivity? Were those seen as enemy aliens living in
Britain given similar fair treatment? Were they sent to internment
camps because they were a threat to the country or for their own
protection to save them from the British public intent on
inflicting violence on them? Prisoners of the British: Internees
and Prisoners of War during the First World War examines the truth
of these views while also looking at the number of camps set up in
the country and the public and press perception of the men held
here.
