Here are both sides of a photo sent as a postcard to my wife's grandfather by one of his friends who was prisoner of war in Germany during WW1 (no precise date).
The card is sent from a "Kriegsgefangenenlager" (Prisoners of War Camp) in Parchim. No text other than identification of the sender was allowed. The blue stamp shows that the card has been censored (Geprüft).

    That's quite a special keepsake. I have read WW1 letters, both censored and non-censored and I'm always curious about the content of either one. I see that the recipient lived in Liege. Was that the case of your grandparents as well?

    Laurent Truillet I never knew anything like this was allowed, but it makes sense that it would be good propaganda to show prisoners were alive and well. I hope he made it home again.
