My Three Years in a German Prison (Classic Reprint) by Henri Beland Pdf
Excerpt from My Three Years in a German Prison It was the 26th of July, 1914. My wife and I were walking leisurely in the park of a village in the Pyrenees, the sun shedding its warm, quickening rays in the Valley of the Gave when, suddenly, a newsboy approached us carrying under his arms a bundle of newspapers, and crying at the top of his voice, "War! War! It is War!" I stopped him, asking at the same time, "What war?" "Why, the war between Austria and Serbia. The paper will give you all the details," he answered.

Three Years a Prisoner in Germany (Classic Reprint) by J. C. Thorn Pdf
Excerpt from Three Years a Prisoner in Germany After the declaration of war, on August 4th, 1914, the first thing the officers of the different militia battalions thought of was whether their services would be needed. Many of us at once sent telegrams to the Minister of Militia at Ottawa offering our services. On the 8th of August, word was received from Ottawa that all militia battalions were to at once be brought to full strength. Colonel McSpadden, of the 11th Irish Fusiliers of Canada, together with his energetic second in command, Major Crehan, immediately opened a recruiting office, and before many days had the battalion at full strength. Soon it was announced that a Canadian contingent was to be formed, and every battalion in British Columbia hastily trained their different units ready, so that when the order came for them to be sent away, they would be prepared to leave. As for myself, being anxious to leave with the first contingent, I arranged my business, and at once went into the recruiting office and helped to bring our battalion up to strength. On August 17th, however, I suddenly received orders to leave immediately with a detachment of men, numbering about 300, for Prince Rupert, where, the report stated, many Germans and Austrians working along the lines of the Grand Trunk Pacific, were endeavoring to blow up the bridges. It was also reported at the time that the two German cruisers, the 'Leipzig" and the "Dresden" were in northern waters and that we should see a little excitement. Of course, I was very much disappointed at having to go to Prince Rupert, as it was not my idea to waste any time in Canada when more excitement could be had by going direct to France. On arrival at Prince Rupert with the detachment, I immediately telegraphed to the brigade headquarters, Vancouver, requesting that I be returned in order to go with the first party. By this time we had heard that the Canadian contingent was to be formed at Valcartier, Quebec, and would be made up of units from every militia battalion in Canada. On August 20th, a wire came from brigade headquarters asking for the return of myself and another officer, and on arriving at Vancouver, we found that the advance units were leaving the next day for the East. The unit from our battalion was made up of 350 men and seven officers. On arriving at Valcartier, several units from British Columbia were joined together and made up into the 7th Canadian Battalion, now known on the western front as the "Fighting Seventh." We remained at Valcartier one month, and during this time we trained every day and were thoroughly equipped by the time we were to embark on September 27th, 1914. The ships left the Bay on the morning of the 2nd of October, in three lines and steamed into the Atlantic, where we were met by H. M. ships "Eclipse," "Diana," "Glory," "Talbot" and "Charybdis." These acted as a convoy to our thirty-three transports, the largest fleet of liners to cross the Atlantic at one time, and having on board 33,000 Canadian troops. The voyage over took sixteen days, and was a most interesting trip. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My German Prisons: The Story of My Two and a Half Years of Captivity in Germany and My Final Escape, November 14, 1914 April 8, 1917 There are countless people throughout the world who have been so unfortunate as to have intimate friends and relatives in captivity in Germany. In the opinion of the writer, these people ought to know, from one who has had a bitter experience, to which these pages will testify, the true conditions under which the wretched prisoners existed. These pages are entirely uncensored and aim at a true record of events, in which there is no word of hearsay, or stories borrowed from others. As such they must stand. To those who may be inclined to be skeptical towards the newspaper reports of German brutality, it is hoped that this narrative will come as a revelation.

Excerpt from Outwitting the Hun: My Escape From a German Prison Camp Of every one who befriended me. I hope particularly that every good Hollander who played the part of the Good Samaritan to me so bountifully after my escape from Belgium will see these pages and feel that I am absolutely sincere when I say that words cannot begin to express my sense of gratitude to the Dutch people. It is needless for me to add how deeply I feel for my fellow-prisoners in Germany who were less fortunate than I. Poor, poor fellows - they are the real victims Of the war. I hope that every one Of them may soon be restored to that freedom whose value I never fully realized until after I had had to fight so hard to regain it.

My Experiences as a German Prisoner (Classic Reprint) by L. J. Austin Pdf
Excerpt from My Experiences as a German Prisoner T the outbreak of war I took the opportunity to Offer my services to the British Red Cross Society. At that time I wished to see something of surgery in war and to assist as far as possible in dealing with wounded and sick. I had no idea that the sanctity of the Red Cross would be found to be an ideal of the past, and that a surgeon might be subjected to hitherto unknown insults. I had no intention of rushing into print, but after an interview which appeared in the Daily Telegraph, the inevitable publisher, in the shape of Mr. Melrose, appeared on the scene, and the short work Which follows is the result.

Sixteen Months in Four German Prisons by Henry C. Mahoney Pdf

There are no exaggerations whatever. Much of the most revolting detail has been eliminated for the simple reason that they are unprintable.

Excerpt from Behind the German Lines: A Narrative of the Everyday Life of an American Prisoner of War How did the Germans treat you 2 That question was asked me so often on my return to America that I decided to write, for the information of my friends who have manifested such a kindly interest in our experience, a full account of what happened to my comrades and myself during my seven months behind the German lines as a prisoner of war. This is not an exciting story, for the life of a prisoner was at best a most wearisome existence. Yet the life in itself was so different from anything I had known before that there was for me always an endless interest which tended to lessen the hardships and the sense of danger.

Escaping from Germany (Classic Reprint) by Edward Page Pdf
Excerpt from Escaping From Germany I have been asked many times, since my return, if the accounts told in the press from time to time regarding the treatment of prisoners of war interned in Germany were really true. I have endeavoured faith fully to answer these questions in these memoirs; I have endeavoured to show that, by their systematic brutality towards us, they succeeded in getting us down upon our knees, but could not finally succeed in throwing us flat upon our backs. Half-starved, ill-clothed (particularly during the winter of 1914 covered with vermin from head to foot, compelled wto live in vile dens of huts like cattle, they could not browbeat us; they could not, try as they might, crush that spirit that has made our race. I take great pride in placing upon record this fact we never for one moment forgot that we were English men - I mean, of course, Britons; and no matter in what circumstances of difficulty or misfortune we found ourselves, we always stood up to them, very often having to suffer ill-usage as the consequence. We could not help it - the old spirit was there and it would force its way to the surface. There are scores of thousands of Germans who will never forget the Englanders who came as prisoners of war amongst them; and our countrymen, whose' business or pleasure takes them to Germany when the war is over, will never be ashamed of anything they may hear concerning our actions while we were interned there.
