My gf Sol Finkelstein served in the Russian Army in WWI. He was injured, captured, sent to a hospital (possibly in Danzig) and then to a POW camp (likely in Germany or Austria). I think he was working as a translator and so likely was an officer.

I found this card online in a Russian State Military Historical Archive. There are several Sol Finkelsteins listed, but I don't know whether any of them is my gf. I'm hoping to find the card for my gf by learning how the person on this card was injured and where he was imprisoned.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
thank you
