White faced hunger, untreated medical issues, threats to his life, and a long wait for a prisoner exchange, piled on a series of attacks prior to his formal imprisonment.enCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalPrisoners of WarFirst Carlist WarRoyal MarinesMilitary HistoryVeterans StudiesTuberculosisConference proceeding
