Hello!

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.

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

Posted on May 24, 2018 | 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.

Video 6, Henderson Collection 4, a new slideshow

Posted on May 17, 2018 | 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 | 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.

Kananaskis and Ozada 2: German Prisoners of War in Canada

Posted on April 26, 2018 | Leave a comment

This link will open a slideshow of pictures I took in Kananaskis in 2007. Again, these are unedited and I apologize that the pictures aren’t of the best quality. However, this is the fastest way to get them to you.

There are slides to help you count if you’d like to comment on a particular picture. It’s easiest if you use the slide number.

I hope you find the pictures interesting.

Kananaskis and Ozada 1: German Prisoners of War in Canada

Posted on April 19, 2018 | Leave a comment

UNEDITED pictures taken in September 2007 at former Kananaskis Camp 130, which is now a University of Calgary research station, and a few shots of some of the surrounding area. The opening shots are not at the exact location of either camp but are there to show some of the countryside there. This was a foggy day. Usually the mountains are visible.

On germanpowcanada.com there is more information and pictures about German Prisoners of War held in Canada during the Second World War, the Veterans Guard of Canada, and others from the same times and places.
Kananaskis camp was used for internees and merchant marine early in the war. Ozada, a later tent camp, housed PoWs who were later moved to the permanent camps at Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.

REMEMBER you can turn off the sound, speed the film up or slow it down, using the controls provided by YouTube. If you aren’t sure how to do this, please Google it. You can also enlarge the video to full screen. Hover your mouse over the bottom right corner of the video and a symbol like a broken square will appear. Click on that to go to the full screen version. Hit your “ESC” button to go back to normal.

The slide show has markers every 10 slides. If you have a question or comment, please leave it in the comments section and if you can identify the slide by number, that will be very helpful.

Sorry for the reflections and glare. It was the best I could do.

The cabin was called the Colonel’s Cabin and was the office for the commanding officer. The prisoners had barracks, not as nice as the cabin in the film.
