Description

Back of a WW1 French postcard of a parade of POWs in occupied Lille, written and signed by "Willie" (William Scott Anthony) dated 7.4.19.

http://www.remembrancetrails-northernfrance.com/history/the-department-of-nord-and-the-coal-basin-under-german-occupation/lille-under-german-rule.html
Lille's occupation by the Germans began on 13 October 1914 after a ten day siege and heavy shelling which destroyed 882 apartment and office blocks and 1,500 houses, mostly around the train station and in the town centre. By the end of October the town was being run by German authorities.

The command of the German 6th Army moved into the prefecture, with General Heinrich in charge of the occupying forces and General Grävenitz managing relations between the French civilian population of the city and their German occupiers. In 1916 Grävenitz replaced Heinrich.
