The Escape of a Princess Pat / Being the full account of the capture and fifteen months' imprisonment of Corporal Edwards, of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and his final escape from Germany into Holland

A corporal of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry recounts his capture on the eighth of May, fifteen months of imprisonment in Germany, and multiple escape attempts culminating in flight into Holland. The narrative combines frontline scenes—trenches, gas alarms, artillery barrages—and detailed prison life: camps, internees' routines, food, guards, and interactions with German officials and the Red Cross. Episodes of planning, failed and successful escapes, betrayals, and small acts of comradeship illustrate resourcefulness and endurance. The account is presented chronologically with descriptive sketches, diary fragments, illustrations, and documentary remarks that emphasize careful observation and memory.
