William James Hurley
Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve
from:Bristol
My father William Hurley was a prisoner of war 1914 to 1918. All I know is the name of the camp, which appears on postcards he sent to my mother. The name of the camp is Freigegeben SH Doeberitz. He was captured during the first battle after our landing in Belgium in 1914.
I have tried many avenues to find anything out but to no avail. Please help me, I am 91 years old and would dearly love to know more about him. I have three photographs, on postcards, which he sent. One is of a football team, one of himself standing outside a hut, and the other is of his camp mates.
