A Wounded Canadien Officer in German Hands
A Canadian officer narrates a harrowing escape from the mine explosion and capture by German forces. He recalls the trek in a crowded transport, brief moments with wounded Germans, meals of acorn coffee and bread, and the slow march toward a Belgian hospital. The account ends with the arrival at a German hospital and notes German Red Cross aid.
