Field Hockey Match at Kedos

Notes:

This poster promotes a field hockey match between players from Oxford University and Cambridge University. The artist pokes fun at some of the intellectuals in the prison camp at Kedos, who are slowing up the start of the match. Hockey not only kept the POW's in good physical shape, it also provided entertainment for the other prisoners.
