"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
I must admit that it quite surprised me as well when I saw it.

Great read - thanks Rob !
Good read. I'm still pondering growing flowers vice vegetables.
Interesting read!
Certainly a story I'd never read about. Thank you for the link. I wonder if there was there a British equivalent, either in England or elsewhere in the Empire?
Thanks for that, WingCo!
Sure -- it was called "Buckingham Palace". ;)

On a more-serious note: There was some of that in the US after 1917 -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internm...rman_Americans .
A great reading about a traditionally uncovered subject.
Thanks for sharing Rob!

I recently read Barbed Wire Disease : British & German Prisoners of War, 1914-19, by John Yarnall which discusses internees on both sides as well as POWs. A good book.
