This monograph details the creation, development and closure of the Ahmednagar camps, with views into the lives of its German and Austrian inmates gathered from India, East Africa and Siam. The postal history includes the related rest camps at Dagshai and Ramandrug and associated civil camps at Ahmednagar and Yercaud. Examples of inbound, outbound and intercamp mail are illustrated. The monograph includes a guide to the handstamps and specialized camp postal stationery.
The prisoner of war camps at Ahmednagar, India included Camps A, B and Parole as well as a nearby civil internment camp. These camps were like none other in World War I.
In addition to the necessary barracks, laundries and sanitation facilities, the camps included sports fields, a library, hospital, theatre, canteens and cafeterias.
Alcohol was also available, and certain prisoners were allowed parole outside the barbed wire surrounding the camps A and B.
