    Sorry Malcolm, I have not but this is potentially a wonderful find you've made. It shows some of the determined effort of many church congregations across just part of the Christian movement to support reconciliation. They were aware many of the POWs were unwilling participants in the conflict, rather akin to another conflict elsewhere in Europe today.
