Blacksmiths at Work at Heuberg

Notes:

French prisoners shoe a horse in the prison camp at Heuberg, while an English prisoner holds the horse's bridle. The prisoners provided important services in prison camps, such as blacksmithing, especially since horses played a critical role in transportation during the First World War.
