Posted on May 31, 2018 by | Leave a comment

Hello!

Here’s a new slideshow of items from the Henderson Collection of artifacts and documents about German Prisoners of War in Canada during the Second World War, and the Veterans Guard of Canada who looked after them.

Bob Henderson is still actively collecting! If you want to get in touch with him please do. You can email him at homefront @ sasktel.net. Do not leave any spaces in the address – I just did that to stop robots from spamming Mr. Henderson.

Remember, you can pause, slow down, or speed up this recording, or mute it using the built-in controls. Just mouse around, you can’t hurt the video.

This video and more videos of the collection are also available on YouTube. You can subscribe to the channel if you like, just use the Subscribe button on the YouTube channel page here: German Prisoners of War in Canada YouTube Channel.

By subscribing to the channel and liking the videos (clicking on the “thumbs up” on the YouTube page where you see the video), you support this work.

I hope you like this short video from the Henderson Collection.

If you have information or items related to the German Prisoners of War in Canada or the Veterans Guard of Canada, please do get in touch with Bob.

Video 7, Henderson Collection 5 – Badges, a new slideshow

Posted on May 24, 2018 by | Leave a comment

Hello!

This slideshow, again from the Henderson Collection, is somewhat shorter than usual. I had a small cluster of “badge” pictures that went well together, so that’s what you’ll find here. Mainly (possibly exclusively) these are Veterans Guard of Canada badges, and you will see there is a variation in the spelling, as well as in the type of stitch used to embroider the words onto the fabric.

Remember, you can pause, slow down, or speed up this recording, or mute it using the built-in controls. Just mouse around, you can’t hurt the video.

This video and more videos of the collection are also available on YouTube. You can subscribe to the channel if you like, just use the Subscribe button on the YouTube channel page here: German Prisoners of War in Canada YouTube Channel.

I hope you like this short video from the Henderson Collection.

Video 6, Henderson Collection 4, a new slideshow

Posted on May 17, 2018 by | Leave a comment

Apologies to our regular readers – last week’s post was set up to go live on May 10th but for some reason it didn’t. I hope that’s fixed now.

With luck today you will get two posts – the May 10th and the May 17th. This is the May 17th post.

This slideshow, again from the Henderson Collection, really shows off some of the amazing breadth and variety of the collection. There’s a search light, a special gun, cartoons, ships in bottles, and much more.

Remember, you can pause, slow down, or speed up this recording, or mute it using the built-in controls. Just mouse around, you can’t hurt the video.

This video and more videos of the collection are also available on YouTube.

Henderson Collection 3, a new slideshow

Posted on May 10, 2018 by | Leave a comment

Apologies – this post was scheduled to go out on May 10th. Apparently there was a glitch which I have just discovered today (May 17th). I’m now working on fixing the glitch and if you are reading this post, the fixing is done. I’m also working on the May 17th post but may not get it done today because of the time it took to do the fix. Thanks for your patience. I hope you enjoy the slides. – Jill

This slideshow, again from the Henderson Collection, features some group photos, some hand-carved wooden grave markers, prisoner of war art, and more of the German Prisoner of War and Veterans Guard of Canada items Bob Henderson collected over the years.

Remember, you can pause, slow down, or speed up this recording, or mute it using the built-in controls. Just mouse around, you can’t hurt the video.

This video and more videos of the collection are also available on YouTube.
