Archives 1914-1918 : during the First World War, 10 million people, service men or civilians, were captured and sent to detention camps.

The belligerent countries sent lists of prisoners of various nationalities to the ICRC. Then it set up alphabetical indexes. You can use them to search for a person.

Well spotted Roy.
