Osmanlı Devleti, I. Dünya Savaşı döneminde İngiltere’den Çanakkale Cephesi ve Güney Cephesinde yapmış olduğu savaşlarda 20.000’i aşkın esir aldı. Çoğunluğu Irak Cephesinde Kut’ül Amare Savaşı’nda alınan İngiliz esirler, Anadolu’nun çeşitli bölgelerinde bulunan esir kamplarında tutuldu. Esirlerin tutulduğu 3 adet merkez toplama kampı vardı: Afyonkarahisar, Ankara ve İstanbul. Bu kamplara ulaşan esirler, gerekli kayıt işlemleri tamamlandıktan sonra kendileri için uygun görülen kamplara nakledilirdi. Esirlerin hepsinin başka bir kampa aktarılması görülenlerden bir kısmı bulunduğu toplama kampında da kalabilirdi. Afyonkarahisar, savaş yılları boyunca binlerce esire ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Esirler, tutsak kaldıkları süre boyunca kimi zaman iyi kimi zaman kötü koşullarda yaşamıştı. İçinde bulundukları ruh halini ailelerine yazdıkları mektup ve kartpostallarda da dile getirmişlerdi. Olive Pass, esirlerin ailelerine yazdığı kartpostalları birleştirerek bir derleme yapmış ve adına da Afyonkarahisar Gazetesi demişti. Bizzat esirlerin yazdığı kartpostallardan oluşan derleme, dönem şartlarını birinci elden aktarması yönünden son derece önemlidir
The Ottoman State received more than 20,000 prisoners during the First World War, during the wars it had carried out from Britain on the Dardanelles and the South Front. British prisoners, majority of them captured in the Battle of Kut'ul Amare on the Iraqi Front, were held in prisoner camps in various regions of Anatolia. There were 3 central concentration camps where prisoners were held: Afyonkarahisar, Ankara and Istanbul. The prisoners who reached these camps were transported to the appropriate camps after they had completed the necessary registration procedures. All of the prisoners did not need to be transferred to another camp, and they could have stayed in the concentration camp if they seemed appropriate by the camp administration. Afyonkarahisar has hosted thousands of prisoners throughout the war. The prisoners lived in sometimes good sometimes bad conditions during their imprisonment. They also expressed their mood in letters and postcards that they wrote to their families. Olive Pass made a compilation by combining the postcards written by the prisoners to their families and named it Afyonkarahisar Newspaper. The compilation of postcards written by the prisoners are a great importance transmitting in terms of the period from the first hand.
