Abstract
"From 1914 to 1920, thousands of men who had immigrated to Canada from the Austro-Hungarian Empire were imprisoned as "enemy aliens," many with their families. Most were Ukrainians; almost all were civilians. The Stories Were Not Told presents this largely unrecognized event through photography, cultural theory, and personal testimony, including stories told at last by internees and their descendants. Semchuk describes how lives and society have been shaped by acts of legislated racism and how to move toward greater reconciliation, remembrance, and healing. This is necessary reading for anyone seeking to understand the cross-cultural and intergenerational consequences of Canada's first internment camps."-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract
Follows the story of Canada's first national internment operations between 1914 and 1920, when over 88,000 people were forced to register and more than 8,500 were wrongfully imprisoned in internment camps across Canada, not for anything they had done but because of where they came from. In 1954, the public records were destroyed.

History
Abstract
By the summer of 1917, Canadian troops had captured Vimy Ridge, but Allied offensives had stalled across many fronts of the Great War. To help break the stalemate of trench warfare, the Canadian Corps commander, Lieutenant-General Arthur Currie, was tasked with capturing Hill 70, a German stronghold near the French town of Lens. After securing the hill on 15 August, Canadian soldiers endured days of shelling, machine-gun fire, and poison gas as they repelled relentless enemy counterattacks. Through Their Eyes depicts this remarkable but costly victory in a unique way. With full-colour graphic artwork and detailed illustration, Matthew Barrett and Robert Engen picture the battle from different perspectives -Currie's strategic view at high command, a junior officer's experience at the platoon level, and the vantage points of many lesser-known Canadian soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. This innovative graphic history invites readers to reimagine the First World War through the eyes of those who lived it and to think more deeply about how we visualize and remember the past. Combining outstanding original art and thought-provoking commentary, Through Their Eyes uncovers the fascinating stories behind this battle while creatively expanding the ways that history is shared and represented.-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract
Historical overview of the Ukranian-Canadian experience of persecution during World War I under guise of the 'Austrian' threat; includes scans of POW documents and images of men in the internment camps. Covers 1914-1920 and includes some local references.
Notes
This copy is very special because it contains extra items which are copies of orginal letters to the author from the Minister of the Environment dated 1993, newspaper clippings, and photocopies of newspaper clippings, specifically mentioning Mary Haskett, as well as a signed letter to Ben Gadd from the author encouraging him to include the Ukranian story in his new book. This is important for regional history and especially valuable as the correspondence included in the book shows active discussion (at the time) of the injustice. May be of special interest to those with an interest in the current Ukranian-Russian conflict.
New editions are re-titled as - 'Without just cause : Canada's first national internment operations and the Ukrainian Canadians, 1914-1920'

Abstract
The main purpose of this book is to furnish the University with a complete war record of the members of the Class. It is, therefore, primarily a statistical record and does not aspire to fill the place of an elaborate Class record such as the Class of 1904 deserves. The quinquennial record was the last book published by the Class and it has been a great disappointment to many of us that a complete record has not appeared since. Let us hope that our twentieth reunion will be productive of the information and enthusiasm as well as the inspired individual necessary for the compiling of such a volume. The Secretary desires to express his thanks to the members of the Class for their co-operation in responding to his requests for the information required for this book. The assistance of Bill Wrightson and his organization have made the completion of the work possible. Faithfully yours, W.A.B., Jr. (from introduction)
