Michael Faraday. His Life and Work. THOMPSON, Silvanus P. From the library of the First World War Prisoner of War camp at Lager, Rastatt near Baden (Offizier-Kriegsgefangenenlager Rastatt).
Signed on nine pages by British, French and Italian officers imprisoned there and with several entries including their captured dates. The signatures include many RAF entries together with R.N, R.N.V.R and Army officers from various regiments, from which there are some recipients of the Military Medal and Distinguished Conduct Medals.

Notes: The signatures appear to have been compiled by George T. Coles, 2nd Lieutenant RAF. His name appears twice, first dated 4th September 1918 with mention of capture at Cambrai followed by a further, lengthier, inscription dated to the day of the armistice.
