[Prisoner-of-war notebook kept by Norman "Jim" Archibald, 1918]

Pocket notebook kept by Norman "Jim" Archibald with notes from his time as a prisoner of war, 1918. Three pages of narrative notes on Archibald's captivity covering the period of September 14-21, 1918, describing his arrival at Karlsruhe, being confined and questioned, an American aviator who survived a plane crash and other Allied soldiers in captivity with him, and being fed and clothed by the Red Cross. Five additional pages include notes on accounting, addresses (presumably fellow prisoners to keep in touch with after the war), letters received, and what appears to be score keeping for a game. German notebook with 1918 and 1919 calendars printed on first and last pages.
