Food Distribution at Nagymegyer

Notes:

Serbian and Russian prisoners line up for their lunch in the prison compound in Nagymegyer. A Hungarian soldier serves the POW's with soup from the large pot in the middle of the compound, under the watchful eye of a Hungarian non-commissioned officer (to the right). Some of the camp's barracks can be seen in the background. Note the white badges on the caps of the prisoners which identifies their POW status.
