| Comments |
Camp 32 was one of the prisoner-of-war camps operated in Hull, Quebec, during and immediately after World War II, holding German and Italian prisoners under Canadian administration. Notes issued in 1946 are post-VE Day, placing this scrip in the awkward final phase of camp operations when repatriation was underway but not yet complete — prisoners were still being held, still requiring a functional internal economy.
Canadian POW camp scrip is among the least-documented internment currency in North American collecting. Many issues were destroyed or confiscated upon repatriation, and camp authorities kept inconsistent records.
