- A number of Austro-Hungarian troops relax and read newspapers and magazines in the reading room of an unidentified Soldatenheim. The soldier on the left holds a copy of the Kriegsruf, a wartime newspaper, while a child in a sailor's uniform can be seen in the extreme right of the photo. Soldiers could visit the YMCA and relax in friendly surroundings. Source: For the Millions of Men Now Under Arms, 1:6 (31 January 1916): 42B.
