Internment of British Civilians in Ruhleben

Notes:

British residents in Germany march to a detention camp as enemy aliens; these men would end up assigned to captivity in Ruhleben. Note that while some of the internees appear carefree about their situation (they probably expected a short war and minimal inconvenience), others are hiding their faces from the camera to avoid recognition.
