Description

Studio portrait of British Prisoner of War (POW) Corporal (Cpl) C. Miller possibly 2nd, The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, at Schneidemuhl POW camp, Germany. One of a series of over 80 photographs of Allied POWs in the camp at Schneidemuhl, given to 3235 Cpl James Skelly, 55th Battalion, from Rockdale, NSW, by fellow POWs as a souvenir of their time together. Cpl Skelly was a self-described "special correspondent" for the Australian Red Cross while at Schneidemuhl and originally donated these photographs to the Ramsgate R.S.L. The original is stored in the AWM archive store.
