Title: Best place to post query-translating WW1 Red Cross pow record, German to English
Post by: MaidinEngland on Friday 22 May 15 18:18 BST (UK)

Have Red Cross pow record from WW1.  Headings are in German, some easy to guess but not sure about others so hoped for a translation. Google translate no help.

For advice please

There are several German speakers on rootschat.

How big is the record? Is is feasible to post it here? Perhaps in sections if it's large.

Tks to George and Ruskie for your replies.  I can't work out how to reply to you individually, this is all new to me. I seem to be replying to my own message.

George - the translation site is appreciated but I can't replicate some of the characters.  I had the same problem with Google translate.

Ruskie - I did try to attach a copy of the record to my original post but it is too large.  I'll try again and take off the bottom entries as it is just the heading and the POW camp that I need.

Hi

I have attached a copy of the Red Cross POW register.  If someone could help with the headings I would be very grateful.  Also, is the name of the camp Stendal or would this just apply to the entries ringed in red?

Tks
