Dec 1918 newspaper article by naval officer about Graudenz POW camp

[PWM]

Please see attached December 1918 newspaper article by naval officer about Graudenz POW camp post-armistice.  My grandfather's diary (https://raburnard.uk/) records this officer's visit to the camp, and notes that he was a doctor.  Can anybody suggest which newspaper this is from, and who the writer might be?

 

As you can see from the introduction, this is apparently part of a series of articles "describing the visit of British warships to Danzig and Stettin [now Gdańsk and Szczecin]"

Many thanks, PWM

You might get some indication from the COVENTRY's Log Book for Dec 1918 which is at Kew under ref ADM53/38822, and maybe transcribed online in naval-history.net.The ship was part of the Baltic Fleet at the time and, as the article states,the Officer returned to the ship in Copenhagen later. Worthy of a line in the log methinks.

Many thanks, that's a great tip. Now looked on http://naval-history.net and can only find Coventry logs for 1920-21. So looks like a trip to Kew will be called for!
And Happy New Year, PWM

My two penn'orth. It looks more like a national newspaper than a regional one as there is no 'local boy' story. I can't find it in the British Newspaper Archive, but a look at the Times Archive, which I don't have a subscription for, might be an idea.

G*****ing about, I came across this: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Corfe-7. So you might try The Post (?).

Thanks for looking in the BNA.  I don't have access to the Times Archive either, but in the past I've not found it great for searching or browsing.  I could head for the British Library in due course, which has The Times on microfilm – good for browsing if not searching.

Thanks for finding this.  Looks like 'The Post' is a New Zealand newspaper, so unlikely my grandfather, Lt RA Burnard – Repatriated to Southampton/London – would have come across a newspaper cutting from there.  Good background on Lt Col. Corfe though – Lt Burnard had given no indication he wasn't British: https://raburnard.uk/10-dec-1918-ripping-to-have-englishman-here/

Thanks again for your help, PWM
