Behind the German Lines

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. How did the Germans treat you? That question was asked me so often on my return to America that I decided to write, for the information of my friends who have manifested such a kindly interest in our experience, a full account of what happened to my comrades and myself during my seven months behind the German lines as a prisoner of war. This is not an exciting story, for the life of a prisoner was at best a most wearisome existence. Yet the life in itself was so different from anything I had known before that there was for me always an endless interest which tended to lessen the hardships and the sense of danger.
