- A number of YMCA recreation chests sit on the steps in front of a building. These chests contained books, games, musical instruments, and stationery and the Association sent them to German prisoners of war working on labor detachments across Britain and France. These men did not have access to the Red Triangle program and the YMCA sought to provide them some relief during their work outside of camp.
