Inscription on back says ‘Hospital, Scheveningen, Holland, 1918’. Also see the inscription for M1965. She was given it by George Thompson, coal merchant, but comparison with his other photos suggest that it is not his writing on the back. Ian Hook said in an email ‘being in Hospital in Holland is typical of being either interned or being a POW in hopsital prior to repatriation, either in wartime or after the Armistice’
