Should be Category:British prisoners of war of World War I, in full, and to match the exsting Category:British prisoners of war of World War II; and the parent category Category:Prisoners of war in World War I.

@Pigsonthewing: I agree with spelling out "prisoners of war" but wouldn't "Prisoners of war from the United Kingdom in World War I" (etc) be less ambigious? A British prisoner of war could be a prisoner of war who is British or a prisoner of the British. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me, but we'll need to change all the equivalents for other countries, see Category:Prisoners of war in World War I . Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:25, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that spelling the words out is better. I also agree with Themightyquill's wording suggestion. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Category:Prisoners of war from the United Kingdom in World War I and equivalents. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:33, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
