My Grandfather, Jack Sperry, was a 1st Lieutenant flying a Spad XIII for the American 22nd Aero Squadron. On 4th of October 1918, he was shot down over northeast France, survived the crash, and was taken prisoner by the German Army. He wrote extensively of his capture, how he was treated and places he was held. He wrote of his journey through Metz, Longwry, Stenay and eventually being held for a period of time in a castle at Montmedy. Ultimately he ended up at a p.o.w. camp in Karlsruhe, Germany.
