Serbian POWs Buying Bread

Notes:

As Austrian guards look on, a Serbian prisoner purchases a loaf of bread from a woman on the street. The Serbian prisoners would continue to find it difficult to obtain bread even after they reached their prison camp due to the effectiveness of the Allied Blockade. The Serbian prisoners are in deplorable shape, as reflected by the condition of their uniforms, which reflects the situation in Serbia after the fall of the kingdom in October 1915.
