Purchasing Goods for the Canteen at Grafenwoehr

Notes:

French prisoners of war unload a wagon of potatoes and a cart of fresh milk from local farmers in the court yard of the prison at Grafenwoehr. They load baskets of food which will be sold in the prison canteen. Prisoners with money could purchase additional food to augment their diets by making purchases in the canteen.
