“Prisoners of war were allowed to make such things in their spare time, and to benefit by any sale they may be able to effect.”
“The prisoners skillfully crafted artwork from any materials they could get – such as bone from their cookhouse. A range of ornate metal, bone and wooden models, toys, small furniture, wall art were all made and the prisoners sold them to camp guards and even held some sales of their work in the camp.”
