Beschreibung

34 issues of this monthly magazine given out by the Red Cross From issue 1 No 1. May 1942 to Issue 37 in May 1945. Each 16 pages stapled binding, only 39 issues were produced and this run lacks No's 14, 22 & 24. the first 8 issues from No 1 to No 8 have the serialised account of Sir Winston Churchill and his account of HIS escape in the Boer War. The condition is in the main very good, some age browning, one or two fold creases, staples a little thin on a couple, but no loss or cut-out areas, no inscriptions of tears. The contents have a page or two of letters of prisoners, interior photos of camps and camp internees, games, sports, theatre activities, health and mental and physical issues, the Japanese wouldn't reveal much and serious excuses or disinterest is shown, hiding numbers and conditions of prisoners from this group, etc. accounts of Red Cross working parties and the reports of care or lack of it when visiting or sending food parcels, one issue has the famous Colditz as its main focus. Many other Oflag's and Stalags numbered named and discussed with accounts of who is interned where. A very rare collection, only the British Library appear to hold a complete run and this isn't confirmed as much of this period was lost and ghosts appear that remain uncorrected. Small quarto approx 10 x 8 inches. Good+ to Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers A585
