- British prisoners compete in a soccer game in the prison compound at Dyrotz. In the background, to the left, are the typical wooden barracks found in German prison camps. The larger building to the right, however, may have been the barracks for French prisoners captured at the fortress of Mauberuge in 1914, as indicated by the sign over the entrance.

- Interior view of a barrack in Minden I, which highlights the beds and possessions of a wide range of Allied prisoners. French, Belgian, and Russian POWs, as well as some interned civilians, lived communally in these sleeping accommodations. Some of the POWs are eating their dinners at the table at the right. Rations for each barrack were distributed at the camp kitchen on a barrack unit basis and served to the barrack inhabitants at Minden. This avoided the necessity of long quenes as individual war prisoners waited for their rations and sped up the feeding process.

- Notes:
- French prisoners pose in their beds in their barrack at Darmstadt. To maximize the use of space, beds are placed next to each other with only a narrow path between rows of bunks. The POW's clothing and dinner bowls hang from the shelves behind their bunks while parcels and food stand on the shelves. The enlisted men faced very crowded conditions in their barracks, which contributed to health problems.
