Austrians in an Italian prisoner of war camp, 1918

Photograph, World War One, Italy (1915-1918), 1918.

The soldiers depicted were probably captured during the Second Battle of the Piave in June 1918 when the Italians halted Austria's last great military offensive of the war.

From 34 photographs and one postcard collected by Lt Col John Fillis Carré Carter whilst serving in British Army Intelligence in Rome, during the Italian campaign, 1917-1918.
