Jack's Son Posted February 14, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 14, 2014 I had not thought about a Chaplin as a POW. Were they treated as men of the cloth, or as combative prisoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap15 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted February 14, 2014 This was back in the day when religion wasn't a bad word. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

firefighter Posted February 14, 2014 Share #15 Posted February 14, 2014 All the posters are nice but those first four are awesome.Thank you so much for sharing them.You are right that Chaplains are protected by the Geneva Convention, so were medical personnel and we all know what happened to them.When I was a medic we had a Geneva Convention card with a big red cross on it.We just laughed.

Manchu Warrior Posted February 14, 2014 Share #16 Posted February 14, 2014 Did you happen to purchase the POW posters on ebay in the last month or so? I bid on the same set of posters at an auction up in PA and the bidder who won them did list them on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
