ICRC Index CardThis card was drawn up in Geneva by the International Prisoners-of-War Agency on the basis of letters from the soldiers' families requesting information. Very often, the soldier being sought had in fact died in combat and thus did not appear in any list of prisoners. The stamp "Négatif envoyé" indicates Robert Fenn was not registered as prisoner, therefore the Agency sent a negative answer to his parents - he was not a prisoner.
