| 备注 |
Camp 133 at Lethbridge held the largest prisoner of war population in Canada during the war — at its peak, over 12,000 German POWs, including Afrika Korps veterans captured in North Africa. The Canadian government was obligated under the Geneva Convention to pay working prisoners, which is why a dedicated scrip currency was introduced: real money couldn't circulate inside the wire, but the men had to be compensated and given something to spend in the canteen.
Bulman Brothers, a commercial printer in Winnipeg with no particular security printing background, produced the scrip. The notes were not intended to outlast repatriation, and most didn't.
