Pte Alexander High, 31622, 16 Highland Ligh Infantry died, a prisoner of war died at Julich (discussed in an earlier thread) of disease on 23 July 1917. According to the local newspaper reports he had been ill for some time. I can work out where and when he was captured, but my virtually non existent German does not extend to what he died of.

Would someone please translate what appears on the ICRC records for me?

The follow are extracts from the ICRC records:

22 March 1917:

21 April 1917

22 August 1917

4 September 1917

Thank you!
