Interned Polish Officers at Werl

Notes:

A group of officers and non-commissioned officers of the Polish Legion pose for a photo outside of their barracks at Werl. These men refused to take an oath of allegiance to the new Polish Regency set up in Warsaw in 1916 by the Central Powers because they sought independence under Polish rule.
