Prisoners of war overseas during World War One

Little has been recorded of the experiences of Australian prisoners of war in the South African War and First World War. In the First World War an estimated 4,000 Australians were taken prisoner, mostly at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Patsy Adam-Smith's Prisoners of War; from Gallipoli to Korea includes personal accounts of some of those First World War prisoners. Their experiences varied greatly, depending on their captors (Turks or Germans) and where they were interned.
