Diary kept by Thomas or William Dixon whilst a prisoner of the French at Arras, 1806-1811
Dixon was probably a sailor with the Royal Navy, but the details he provides about daily life and the treatment of prisoners makes this an important document in relation to Army prisoners of war as well as those belonging to the Navy during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815).
