British Internees March to the Camp Kitchen at Ruhleben

Notes:

British internees march to one of the camp kitchens at Ruhleben with their dinner buckets in hand. While theoretically under the command of a German non-commissioned officer, several of the internees appear to be out of step in the march. The British civilians chafed under German insistence on running the camp like a military facility.
