For some time I have been gathering material for a website entitled The Ruhleben Story, detailing the names of almost 2000 British civilian POWs interned in Germany during the First World War. Many people have sent pictures to me for the project, for which I am eternally grateful - as something of a payback, the following is a short vid that I will be placing on the website at http://ruhleben.tripod.com/ - thanks to all who have contributed so far!
UPDATE: The video is now available on the online demand section of the ScotFamTree forum's online television station, the Scottish Family Tree Channel.
