A British prisoner-of-war writing home about his conditions
" The Language of Diplomacy" Caption: Tommy (writing home from a prison camp): " Dear Maria, everythink ere is luvvly: cumfurtable quarters; fine clothes; a ome from ome. Bill, who was of a differing opinion, was shot yesterday." Surrendering to the enemy could be a lottery, but for some, it was a way to survive the war; however the treatment of prisoners-of-war could vary dramatically on both sides. The British generally treated their Germany prisoners well, although the German treatment of prisoners-of-war could vary dramatically, a fact this Tommy has carefully observed. Will Owen was an artist of the poster school and is best known for his collaboration with the writer W.W. Jacobs, as well as the Ah Bisto! poster. Date: 1915
