Hi,

My Great Uncle died in a "shooting incident" at Langensalza POW camp on 27th November 1918 just 2 weeks after Armistice Day. There was some sort of fracas and he was hit very tragically by a stray bullet in the back.

I have got some official documents from National Archives but would really love to hear from anybody who has any information regarding this incident or about Langensalza camp itself.

Thanks for any help,

Alex.
