Capt. William Harold Raphael McCarter
British Army Royal Army Medical Corps
William Harold Raphael McCarter was my paternal grandfather. He served during the Great War as a doctor. He was captured during the Spring offensive at Epehy in March 1918 and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner. The main POW camps where he was held were Rastatt, Karlsruhe and eventually Graudenz in Poland. I have transcribed his diary which is now very fragile, and I also have a book of cartoons painted by one of the officers in his battalion before their capture. I am putting everything together in a book and am still searching for relevant pictures of the POW camps and my grandfather.
