Notes: Single page business letter. Vertical stripe on right side. Written by Gustave (Gus) Bauer to Mr. Saunders (Superintendent of the Acadia Experimental Station) requesting a letter of reference for the forestry work he did while he was in the base camp. Narrative: This document was donated by Eudice Bauer, the wife of Gustave Bauer. Gustave was born in 1924 in Hamburg, Germany, and was on vacation in Denmark with his mother Anna and brother Werner when the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 were passed.

In 1940, immediately before Germany occupied Belgium, all German males born before 1924 were ordered to register. Manfred and Werner were sent to France, where they were interned. On their way to France to join them, Gustave and his mother were arrested and sent to England on the last boat to leave Belgium before it was occupied. In England, Gustave spent time in Folkestone, Pentonville Prison, Kempton Park, and Douglas, Isle of Man. He was in England from May 19 to July 4, 1940.

Notes: Cover with drawing of an elephant and the words ' Big Boy' framed in gold. Space for pupil to write their name and grade. Pages are ruled in blue printed lines. Fifteen pages contain writing. This book belonged to Gustav Bauer in 1940 for his studies. There is a cartoon of Hitler on page three. The booklet is titled 'War - Krieg - Guerre". Most of the texts are songs and poems from Camp B. It was graded by a third party person in pink pencil crayon, crossing out some of Gus' passages and labelling them 'enemy propaganda,' 'not nescessary,' and 'military secret.' A piece of newspaper is used as a bookmark. It is an article from 1941 about Vichy improving conditions for alien prisoners. Gustav kept it in the interest of his father and older brother. Narrative: Gustave was born in 1924 in Hamburg, Germany, and was on vacation in Denmark with his mother Anna and brother Werner when the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 were passed.
