Alisha Posted 19 March , 2020 Share Posted 19 March , 2020 Hi there, I am writing a thesis on Cross-dressing within World War One Prisoner of War Camps.

Alisha Posted 26 March , 2020 Author Share Posted 26 March , 2020 Spoiler Thanks for sending over the links. I'm pretty deep into research and have spent a lot of time in different European archives, so just wondered if anyone had any personal photos/letters from relatives? That I wouldn't have come across in archives etc. Best wishes, Alisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
