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.
