Original World War I photograph captioned in white on the image: "42 Boche Prisoners, 600 Strong. On their way to the rear. St. Georges. 11-1-18." with the credit "Spencer - Altoona, Pa." It shows a long column of German prisoners in caps and greatcoats massed on a shell-torn hillside among bare, shattered trees, with helmeted Allied soldiers in packs and leggings standing guard in the foreground. Measures about 5.6 x 3.4 inches. Condition: good for its age, with light edge and corner wear, a few small spots in the sky, and mild toning.

The caption dates the scene to November 1, 1918, ten days before the Armistice. "Boche" was the period Allied slang for German soldiers, and the number 42 at the start of the caption appears to be the print's series number.

A strong piece for World War I, Western Front and prisoner-of-war collectors, or for anyone researching the final weeks of the war.
