Bombs and barbed wire : stories of Acadian airmen and prisoners of war, 1939-1945 / Ronald Cormier. by Cormier, Ronald, 1946- Goose Lane, c2022. Call #: 940.5481715 C811b Subjects Canada. Royal Canadian Air Force   Prisoners of war -- Canada -- History -- 20th century.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Prisoners of war.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Aerial operations.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Participation, Canadian.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, Canadian.   Acadians -- Personal narratives.   Soldiers -- Canada -- Biography. Series New Brunswick military heritage series. ISBN:  9781773102788 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Stories of Acadian airmen and prisoners of war, 1939-1945 Description:  201 p. : ill, map. ; 19 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Little has been written about the Acadians who served in Canada’s armed forces during the Second World War. In fact, the prevailing notion suggested that Acadians refused to support the war effort. 'Bombs and Barbed Wire' provides an alternative point of view, revealing the commitment and bravery displayed by the approximately 24,000 Acadians who voluntarily joined the war effort. Battling both language barriers and a culture of exclusion, they overcame frustrations and prejudice to fight for the freedom of the country they loved. Based on extensive, in-depth interviews Cormier conducted in 1990 with eleven surviving Acadian veterans, 'Bombs & Barbed Wire' brings to life the experience of Acadian soldiers for English-language readers for the first time."--Goose Lane.
