- Notes:
- French and Belgian war prisoners and interned civilians enjoy glasses of milk at the canteen/milk hall at the prison camp in Cassel. In 1916, when this photograph was taken, food was relatively plentiful in Germany and POW's could obtain a variety of foods in prison camps. Prisoners at Cassel wore white armbands for identification purposes on their upper arms.

- Notes:
- German troops supervise Belgian prisoners in the construction of a new line of trenches outside of Brussels in 1914. Note that the trenches are not dug in a straight line to prevent enemy troops, who seize a part of the trench, from firing the length of the defensive line. Forcing POW's to construct fortifications was a violation of the Hague Conventions. This photograph may have been retouched--note the prisoner in the foreground. He appears as a shadow of a sentry in other copies of this photograph.
