The lot includes various paper ephemera such as a facsimile To all Prisoners of War! informational sheet and a replica German Urlaubsschein (leave permit) dated 1942. The interior of the box lid contains printed historical text regarding International Red Cross parcels. The box lid is marked Parker, Made in UK, and identifies Major Reid as the author of The Colditz Story and technical advisor to the BBC TV series.
