A French officer, a member of the Franco-Serbian Military Mission, informs the Serbian POW's at Haskovo that Bulgaria had signed an armistice in September 1918 and that they would be sent home. The wagon in the center of the photograph carried the prisoners' daily rations and moved dead bodies to the cemetery.
