Notes on French prisoners of war |

1706-1815 |

Description |
This collection consists of notes and other material gathered by Mr. Macbeth Forbes, Edinburgh, and relates mainly to French prisoners of war in Scotland during the period 1802-1815. Also included, however, is information regarding French prisoners from Marlborough's campaigns and Jacobite prisoners taken during the 1743 rebellion.
There are no original documents in the collection, the bulk of the information contained therein having been incorporated in Abell's 'Prisoners of War in Britain 1756-1815.'
There would appear to be considerable duplication of information, and it has been deemed expedient to follow a broad classification as undernoted. |
