1. Correspondence for German POWs in Russia Carried by A.C. Harte

Notes:: These are samples of some of the correspondence Archibald Harte received from the relatives and friends of German and Hungarian prisoners seeking information about their loved ones in captivity. Many families lost contact with their fathers and sons on the Eastern Front and Harte's trips to Russia sparked some hope that these families could find out some information.

2. Recently Repatriated Russian POWs in Petrograd

Notes:: Recently exchanged Russian prisoners of war from Germany enjoy a lunch in Petrograd which was hosted by Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna. The repatriation process allowed the Allied and Central Powers to exchange badly wounded or seriously ill soldiers who would otherwise be a burden on the captor nation. Russian Red Cross nurses care for the exchanged war prisoners.
