SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE. Arguably the most ingenious POW escape of WWII, it became a legend among servicemen long before its publication here in 1949. Two officers made home runs via a tunnel dug in the open air beneath a wooden vaulting horse. The scene was Stalag Luft III (site of the 'Great Escape' later in the war) and the story one of the true classics of WWII. Endlessly reprinted, it has now achieved the status of popular folklore. It was filmed by Jack Lee in 1950 starring Leo Genn, David Tomlinson and Bryan Forbes. Published in the same year as the first edition. Astonishingly, not recorded by Enser.

iv, 87 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos. "I have written this booklet because I have found so many people know almost nothing about the evacuation of the Japanese Canadian people from the west coast during the war. At the coast, after Pearl Harbor, a Japanese family might be living next door to you and a few days later they were gone and no one knew where, particularly after they left the exhibition buildings in Vancouver. I feel sorry this story has to be told, in part, so that such a thing does not happen to any other group of people in this country. Tashme was established at the Fourteen Mile Ranch and the first families arrived in September, 1942. I have written mostly about the high school and its students but everyone in the community was effected by the events I have recorded." - from Preface. Author taught high school for two years in Tashme. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Two-inch rectangular patch of mild discoloration to upper right corner of front cover where label removed.
