'German Prisoners Entering the Cages', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'A careful study of the faces of many of these German soldiers will show that they present aspects of unmistakably "degenerate" type; they contrast badly with the clean, alert British soldier. All bear their misfortunes with a certain air of enjoyment and no doubt relief.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. V, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight.
