British Soccer Game at Dyrotz

View Item Record

Notes:

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.
