All set against a white background. image: text only. text: PROCLAMATION Certain incidents have occurred in which, on the part of the inhabitants of the Island, acts have been committed which were against the safety of the Army of Occupation. Those who were guilty have been, or will be, punished according to the decree of Martial Law by Sentence of Death. In their own interest I warn the Public most solemnly against perpetrating any further acts of this kind. Any person involved in such an act, either as a Perpetrator, Participant or Instigator will, upon conviction by Court Martial, without power of Appeal be condemned to suffer the Death Penalty. In view of the present economic situation the recent Prohibition in regard to Fishing has been modified. If, however, this act of leniency is misunderstood, and certain individual and irresponsible elements of the population perpetrate further acts which are detrimental to the safety of the Army of Occupation, the entire population will have to suffer the consequences of the reprisals which will follow. People of the Island! Your destiny and your welfare is in your own hands. Your Home Interests demand that you should refrain from, and to the best of your power prevent, all such actions which must inevitably be followed by such disastrous consequences. The Military Commander in France, (Signed) v. STÜLPNAGEL, General of Infantry. | Subjects: | poster | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown Publisher/Sponsor: Military Commander in France Associated Person: Stülpnagel, Karl-Heinrich von (General) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=2638... | Go to resource |
