pp: 144. FIRST EDITION. The book is the story of the more than eight thousand immigrants in Canada from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire who were interned during the years of the First World War. These camps were spread throughout Canada. This book contains the tales of the approximately six hundred who were in the camp in the Banff - Castle Mountain area. It relates the daily routine, the work projects, the diets, weather, and other minutiae. There are vintage photographs throughout; some of the workers and some of the soldiers who ran the operation. The appendices include a prisoners' Roll. This is a near fine copy in a dust jacket with one short, closed tear. This is a complimentary copy given to members of parliament. This copy has a letter laid in to an unnamed member, signed by the Director of the Ukrainian Information Bureau. The paper clip that held the letter and business card has left an impression partly on the front paste down and partly on the free endpaper.
