Description | Officer prisoners of war in Germany - Fancy Dress ball |
Details |
A fancy dress ball at Furstenberg in Mecklenburg which officer prisoners of war held as christmas entertainment in December 1916. The principal performers were British and Russian officers and among the costumes seen (remarkable considering the disadvantageous circumstances under which the organisers worked) are a pierrot, Napoleon, several clowns and a large number of ladies!
