Hello, perhaps you might tell us a little more about your great grandfather, in what capacity did he take part in the war?

According to my mom my great grandfather was a soldier and was captured during the war and placed in a prison camp - like a concentration camp.

Do you perhaps know if there were any French soldiers taking part in the war in that time?

My mom said he was from France born in 1881 came to South Africa when he was young - he met his wife in one of the concentrations camps and they both lived in Pietermaritzburg - he passed away on the 10th March 1954.
