Description
Group portrait of three unidentified actors in costume, on stage in a Prisoner of War (POW) production at Schneidemuhl POW camp, Germany. For other images of these same actors in this production see images P05901.041 and P05901.042. One of a series of over 80 photographs of Allied POWs in the camp at Schneidemuhl, given to 3235 Corporal (Cpl) James Skelly, 55th Battalion, from Rockdale, NSW, by fellow POWs as a souvenir of their time together. Cpl Skelly was a self-described "special correspondent" for the Australian Red Cross while at Schneidemuhl and originally donated these photographs to the Ramsgate R.S.L. The original is stored in the AWM archive store.
