The Lawrence E. Osswald Photograph Collection features 17 photographs of a German prisoner of war camp that was located on the grounds of the Fort Hays Branch of the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station. It was one of two POW camps in Kansas. The first group of prisoners arrived at the camp in September 1943. The last group of the prisoners left the Station in November 1945. Lawrence E. Osswald, Corporal US Army 480th MPEG Company, from Wilmington, Delaware, served at the camp during the fall of 1943. Mr. Osswald had copies of the photos among his possessions when he passed away. His son and family donated them to the University Archives in his memory.
