1916 World War I Prisoner of war camps at Hameln POW Camp Postcard

This postcard depicts a funeral ceremony held at the Kriegsgefangenenlager (POW Camp) in Hameln, Germany, during World War I. The image shows a large gathering of prisoners and guards around a grave in a forested area. The solemn crowd includes many uniformed men, standing in respectful silence as priests conduct the burial service. The scene is enclosed by a simple wooden fence, with a forest forming the background.

The reverse side of the postcard includes the address of a Belgian recipient, Monsieur et Madame Van Griekenhove, located in Louvain, Belgium. The sender is identified as Nr. 2608, St. Van Goidsenhoven, IV Compagnie, who was likely a Belgian soldier interned at the camp. The postcard is stamped with a German military censor mark and a POW identification stamp, indicating it passed through the camp's postal system.
