The Escape of a Princess Pat: Being the Full Account of the Capture and Fifteen Months' Imprisonment of Corporal Edwards, of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and His Final Escape from Germany into Holland
1918
What does it feel like to watch your friends die in a gas attack, then spend fifteen months rotting in a German prison camp, then gamble everything on one desperate night run through enemy territory? Corporal Edward Edwards of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry knows. In 1915, fighting in the mud and horror around Ypres, he was captured by German forces. What followed was a year and a quarter of near-starvation, brutal conditions, and the slow erosion of everything that makes a man human - until Edwards decided he'd rather die trying to be free than live as a prisoner. In April 1916, he made his choice. With a companion, he fled into the night, running through forests, dodging patrols, crossing into neutral Holland - and surviving. Written by the man who lived it, this is not history from a safe distance. It's the raw, immediate account of one soldier's descent into hell and his climb back out.
