Lieutenant Edouard V.M. Isaacs, USN (right)
Halftone reproduction of a photograph, published as the frontispiece
of his 1919 book "Prisoner of the U-90".
The view shows Lt. Isaacs at the Villingen, Germany, prisoner
of war camp with other members of his mess, circa late July or
early August 1918. He had sent the photograph to his home on
13 August. Also present are two British officers, Jeffrey and
Hardesty, and sub-lieutenant Willis, an American who had been
captured circa mid-1917, while serving with the French air force's
Lafayette Escadrille. Willis and Isaacs escaped from Villingen
in October 1918 and together made their way to Switzerland.
