Notes:

A number of Austro-Hungarian troops relax and read newspapers and magazines in the reading room of an unidentified Soldatenheim. The soldier on the left holds a copy of the "Kriegsruf," a wartime newspaper, while a child in a sailor's uniform can be seen in the extreme right of the photo. Soldiers could visit the YMCA and relax in friendly surroundings.
