Add to ORKGThe stringed orchestra performs during the Christmas service in the YMCA building in Braunau-am-Inn in 1916. Note the extensive decorations in the building which include garland, paper chains, pine boughs, and a large, decorated Christmas tree behind the stage. There are Christmas presents on the floor to the right of the stage, near a phonograph. Association secretaries went to great lengths to provide POW\u27s with Christmas cheer at a time when many prisoners suffered from depression and home sickness.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/wwi_pow_camps/2399/thumbnail.jp
