The heading "Inspektion der Kriegsgefangenenlager im Bereich des III. Armeekorps" arches across the upper portion above a spread-eagle vignette, while the lower band bears the date "Berlin, den 1. Okt. 1917", the facsimile signatures of the Inspector (Waldhausen) and Adjutant, and a warning clause regarding invalid serial numbers. |
