dc.description.abstractWe have a letter at hand written by William Prince of Hohenzollern (Wilhelm Fiirst von Hohenzollern), General of the Infantry during the war addressed to his youngest son Franz Josef Prince of Hohenzollern who was a Prisoner of War in Malta at the time of writing. It is dated 3'ct February 1915 and sent from Sigmaringen in the German federal state of Wurttemberg which formed the seat of the House of Hohenzollern. It is addressed to the Prisoner of War Information Bureau at London where it received the single circle 'P.C. I POST FREE I PRISONERS OF WAR' cachet and in pencil it was indicated that he resided in Malta. We will next tell the story of Franz Josef Prince of Hohenzollern being second torpedo officer on the light cruiser SMS Emden and his stay in Malta. An important primary source of information used for this write up is a book published by him in 1925 titled 'Emden: Meine Erlebnisse auf S.M. Schiff' Emden'. [excerpt]en_GB
