Brilliant find !!
Cheers
I always wondered where Carl Bernard Bartels was imprisoned on Isle of Man 1914  to 1919
 away from his British Wife and British Children
 and then Deported from Isle of Man back to Germany
even though he had been a Naturalized  British Subject pre War
Haven't been able to look at the Liver Birds with Pride for Years after I found out about his Treatment

The address on the Isle of Man might be for a HQ or Admin. The actual camps were sizeable ones.

The main WW1 Internment Camp was at Knockaloe, Patrick, nr Peel (rhymes with halo!).
There was a smaller camp at Cunningham's Holiday Camp, which was close to Little Switzerland, nr Douglas.

he was held in Knockaloe (Knockaloe camp #5793 where he was registered on 18 May 1915 - transferred to Spalding for deportation on 14 Jan 1919
(see my site www.manxnotebook.com for details of these camps)
his PoWIB number was 14924 from which brief details can be found as those with PoWIB #s below 15000 can be found under the Military section in the Red Cross (ICRC records) - age 24 gave address as 7,11 Bahnhofstr Hamburg
he came to Knockaloe from Handforth (a Camp nr Manchester that was being cleared of Civilian internees ready for Military combatant PoWs) and was probably in Camp 2 compound 1
