- This photograph, taken early in the war, shows British prisoners of war lounging about on the ground with a lot of free time on their hands and nothing to do in a new German prison camp. The arrival of YMCA secretaries resulted in access to sports equipment and the organization of leagues to promote POW health and morale.

- Notes:
- Colonel Alberti, commandant of the prison camp at Doeberitz issued this order ending entertainment and games and limiting baths to ten minutes on 10 August 1915 as a reprisal for alleged mistreatment of interned women and children by the British government in English internment camps. YMCA secretaries had a difficult time trying to expand War Prisoners' Aid services to POW's as belligerent governments responded harshly to claims of mistreatment of their nationals with reprisal orders. Note the death of the prisoner who failed in his escape attempt.

- Notes:
- French prisoners of war line up to buy refreshments at the canteen in the prison compound at Erlangen. The canteen appears to be well stocked with provisions, suggested by the goods in the window. French and Russian prisoners relax in the shade of a shed to the right. A group of POW's in the middle of the photograph are in a playful mood; one of the French prisoners gives his fellow inmate a pair of "horns" with his fingers.
