Book Description
Excerpt from My German Prisons: The Story of My Two and a Half Years of Captivity in Germany and My Final Escape, November 14, 1914 April 8, 1917 There are countless people throughout the world who have been so unfortunate as to have intimate friends and relatives in captivity in Germany. In the opinion of the writer, these people ought to know, from one who has had a bitter experience, to which these pages will testify, the true conditions under which the wretched prisoners existed. These pages are entirely uncensored and aim at a true record of events, in which there is no word of hearsay, or stories borrowed from others. As such they must stand. To those who may be inclined to be skeptical towards the newspaper reports of German brutality, it is hoped that this narrative will come as a revelation.

Book Description
My German Prisons by Horace Gray Gilliland is about Gilliland's experiences as a prison officer. Excerpt: "A rough sketch of the circumstances which led up to my being taken prisoner of war is more or less indispensable. We were called up at a moment's notice from another part of the line, where our division was in reserve, to a position in front of a line of our trenches lost to the enemy a few hours previously in their attempted advance on Calais. These trenches had been held by Indian regiments, and small blame to them for losing them."
