General note
Both English and French language editions of the pamphlet were published as part of one publication, appearing at opposite ends from each other with corresponding pages for one language printed upside down from the other, and individually paginated starting from the 'front' page of either edition. Pagination for scanned editions of the publication containing English and French content runs sequentially from 1 through to the end of the edition rather than restarting for the French content. Scanned pages of French content has rotated so that all English and French pages display in one direction.
General note
Between October 1942 and May 1945, Cameron Hill was captured as a prisoner of war by the Axis Powers, held in custody, and sent to POW camps in Libya, Italy, Austria, Prussia, Poland, and Germany.
