Pte. Thomas Edward Hunt
British Army Royal West Kent Regiment

My Granddad, Thomas Hunt, was captured at the Battle of Mons on 22nd of August 1914 after being shot in the arm.
He was then imprisoned at Doeberitz Germany for 4 years. I have several photos of him in the camp some look like propaganda ones as the hut inside looks too comfortable. He did manage to write every so often to my nan and uncle and send Christmas and Easter greetings.
He was freed in Dec 1918 and nan said he was 6 stone, he survived and lived till the age of 68.
