- This photograph shows the British sailors and soldiers who lived in the "English Submarine," an underground barrack, at Doeberitz. The barrack is definitely crowded, like a submarine, but is well-stocked with tables and benches, a large wooden stove, and there are lots of provisions on the shelves in the back of the room.

- British officers line up outside the Citadel on the parade grounds for their daily roll call by a German non-commissioned officer. Roll calls helped guards maintain security by identifying absent war prisoners. Frequent roll calls, especially at night, led to POW complaints of abuse. At Mainz, however, the British officers appear to take the roll call in stride.
