Clothing & Equipment Record for German POW Walter Schmitt

Clothing & Equipment Record for German POW Walter Schmitt

Interesting to note how his few recorded possessions changed over the two years recorded on the form. There is a stamp visible from the Warth Mills POW camp in Bury, Lancashire. This camp was originally used as an internment camp for "enemy aliens" including many Jewish refugees before being converted into a POW camp in 1941. 168 P.W. Camp is also stamped on the form indicating Brookmill Camp, Woodlands, Kirkham, Preston, Lancashire.

Earliest date on the form appears to be August 25th, 1946 and the latest date is April 26th 1947
