They are in Wirballen in German captivity. The sentences below the picture say," This picture was kindly sent to us by Pastor Firtz Foth, Kaiserslautern, Germany, whose letter appeared on page 7 in the last edition of the "M.R." Who can send us the names of the Mennonite medics on this picture and briefly describe the group's experiences? Editor." Someone has used colored pen to identify two of the men: 2nd from left first row is a Jakob Kroeker, Neukirch, and 3rd from right - the tallest man on the picture - Willms from Tiege.
