Captured Frenchmen

A third card in a series of French prisoners in the Vosges. The other two can be seen here and here. These men are members of the 152nd Infantry.

Update. Going through the collection further I found four more from this series. So far the highest number is 28 so there are at least 21 more.

Gefangene Franzosen aus den Vogesen.

French prisoners from the Vosges. Mulhouse is in the province of Alsace. It was under German control before the war. The French started their war effort on August 9th, 1914 with an attack on Mulhouse in order to recapture the province lost in the Franco-Prussian War. These prisoners are not from the initial attack as evidenced by their Adrian helmets that were introduced in 1915.
