From information on the back of the post-card, and the attached envelope, the man in the center (in a prisoner uniform) is Pvt. Fred J.W. Shearman, (service no. 7903), 2nd Canadian Infantry Battalion. He appears to be wearing a Governor General's Foot Guard badge (showing his pre-war unit) on his breast. Shearman was captured on April 24th, 1915, and sent to Giessen prisoner of war camp, in Germany. He was repatriated to England on December 27th, 1918. The soldier, in uniform, on the left may have been named Reed.
