PRISONER OF WAR CAMP
Camp Atterbury, Indiana, USA

To: John L. Gammell
Colonel - U. S. Army Commanding

In appreciation of the exemplary treatment accorded to the German Prisoners of War at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, we dedicate to the Commanding Officer,

Colonel John L. Gammell

this special edition of the "Lagerstimme" as a remembrance of the time and work he devoted to our camp.

With this modest mark of appreciation the prisoners of war wish to express their gratitude to the officers of the camp, and to Colonel Gammell whose relentless consideration for our welfare, wise leadership, and fair, just and strict administration effected such an unhampered and successful cooperation during the two years of our captivity in the United States.

The Commanding Officer may rest assured that we shall depart from this camp with the best impressions of the United States Army and the country it represents. These years in America will certainly exert an important influence upon the future shape of our homeland which will undoubtedly be the best tribute to the activities of the Commanding Officer.
