3. French Theatrical Performance at Dyrotz

Notes:
A French clown sings a tragic song accompanied by the camp orchestra during a variety show in the theater at Dyrotz. Theatrical performances were a critical part of social life in prison camps, both for the actors and the audience, especially for the latter since they gained the opportunity to escape from their confinement for an hour or two through theatrical entertainment.

5. British Soccer Game at Dyrotz

Notes:
British prisoners compete in a soccer game in the prison compound at Dyrotz. In the background, to the left, are the typical wooden barracks found in German prison camps. The larger building to the right, however, may have been the barracks for French prisoners captured at the fortress of Mauberuge in 1914, as indicated by the sign over the entrance.
