The twelfth edition of the Military Stobsiade begins with a poem by Joseph Baron von Eichendorff [1788-1857] called A Wanderer’s Maxim. It describes life in the work camp at Grantham. Then reports on the military hospital which is attached to our camp. The camp chronicle details the arrival of new comrades and the competitions being held for them. There is also something new to report about Hieronymus, while a poem expresses the longing with which the “old prisoners” are hoping to be exchanged soon. It ends with a prize exercise.
