Description
The attached photograph shows French colonial soldiers in Prilep, who were captured by the German army. In the right part of the photograph we see a sign with the German inscription "Zur Marketenderei XI. Armee." and a directional arrow. This is proof for the existence of a sutlership, a sutler being a merchant who accompanied an army in order to sell provisions to the soldiers.
