The text from ‘Prisoners of War’ reads: The above is not a portrait of a couple of society entertainers. They are two soldiers, prisoners of war at Gottingen, and they are in the costumesthey wore at an entertainment given there entitled ‘Bink’s Dream’. The ‘Lady’ is Private Sidney Smith, of the 2nd Buffs, son of Mr & Mrs Smith, 64 Norman Road, St Leonards and the gentleman is Sergeant T S Moss. Private Smith appeared as a lady boarder, and it will be admitted that his make up was remarkably good. An account of the entertainment is published in “The Wooden City”, a journal for British Prisoners of War at Gottingen.
