Burnley in the Great War
Soldiers taken prisoner of war

Examination of the information reveals that 70% of the men were captured in 1918 and about 50 spent most of the war in captivity having been captured in 1914. Unfortunately the PoWs were very poorly treated by the Germans and at least 57 died during or just after the war and many others in the following years - at least one man Charles Smith 6742 1st East Lancs was murdered by the camp guards after 4 years of captivity. One PoW escaped from captivity Alfred Birley MM became an officer.
