Description
Australian and British prisoners at Afion Kara Hissar. In the group but not identified are three Australian prisoners, Captain RTA MacDonald of the 16th Battalion AIF, who was captured at Gallipoli on 26 May 1915, Lieutenant G Haggard of the Royal Navy submarine AE2 who was captured in the Sea of Marmona on April 1915 and Captain TW White of the Australian Flying Corps. Most of the prisoners are wearing beards due to the scarcity of soap and the cold weather. Note the dogs with the men in the foreground.
