Over 185,000 British military servicemen were captured by the
Germans during the First World War and incarcerated as prisoners of
war (POWs). In this original investigation into their experiences
of captivity, Wilkinson uses official and private British source
material to explore how these servicemen were challenged by, and
responded to, their wartime fate. Examining the psychological
anguish associated with captivity, and physical trials, such as the
controlling camp spaces; harsh routines and regimes; the lack of
material necessities; and, for many, forced labour demands, he asks
if, how and with what effects British POWs were able to respond to
such challenges. The culmination of this research reveals a range
of coping strategies embracing resistance; leadership and
organisation; networks of support; and links with 'home worlds'.
British Prisoners of War in First World War Germany offers an
original insight into First World War captivity, the German POW
camps, and the mentalities and perceptions of the British
servicemen held within.
