Lunch Line for Soup at Ruhleben

Notes:

British internees line up with their dinner pails waiting for their lunch rations at the camp kitchen in Ruhleben. A German guard stands by the door near an internee who is already eating his soup. Several of the prisoners appear to be in good human, including the man in the center of the photo wearing his soup bowl as a helmet.
