Summary:
Description: German prisoners of war queue up to receive travelling rations before leaving a POW transit compound in Gosport. The cameraman studies one of the Wehrmacht prisoners (an infantry Oberfeldwebel wearing a 2nd Class Iron Cross ribbon) who studiously ignores his presence. British Army personnel and Military Police supervise the flow of prisoners from the compound to a nearby railway platform (not seen), searching each man before he leaves and keeping a count of the prisoners as they file along a barbed-wire 'corridor' to an awaiting train that will take them to Kempton Park (whose race-course is now used as a POW reception camp).
