DescriptionPrisoner of War's Dream' by T.W. Bygrave. This cartoon shows a man in a smoking jacket reclining in an armchair and blowing smoke rings with a blissful expression on his face. He is holding a copy of a magazine called 'The Link', and an attractive young woman is standing by his chair with her hand on his brow. The cartoon is captioned 'THE PRISONER OF WAR'S DREAM.' Originally this cartoon featured in 'The Link', a magazine produced by British prisoners of war at Doeberitz camp near Berlin, in Germany. Doeberitz was a former military barracks. It was used initially to intern German-based British civilians after Britain had begun interning German nationals at the outbreak of war. Later soldiers were also imprisoned at Doeberitz. In some camps prisoners were supplied with painting materials, allowed to put on stage performances or organize sporting events. Doeberitz was not the only camp with a monthly magazine: prisoners at Ruhleben camp also produced one.
