- Notes:
- French and Russian prisoners work on shoes and boots in the cobbler shop at Merseberg. The men are busy making new shops and boots or repairing worn out footwear. These skilled laborers provided an important service in the prison camps and unskilled prisoners gained the opportunity to learn a new trade during their captivity. German guards stand in the back of the shop.

- Notes:
- This photograph shows a wall of paintings produced by Allied officers at Torgau at an art exhibition in 1915. The paintings range from portraits of women and Serbian soldiers to landscapes, probably of the prison camp and surrounding area. The quality of this art work was quite good and painting was a way prisoners could escape from the confines of the prison, at least mentally.
