What an interesting and informative article, Larry !’
A lot of scope for discussion here.
It’s always intrigued me, the logistical challenge of capturing large numbers of enemy prisoners, and then trying to conduct a battle on enemy soil. What do you do with several thousand prisoners if you need to keep freedom of movement ? No wonder rebel generals were keen to prefer paroling them !
Regards, Phil
