Mr Lynch tells about waiting to be taken prisoner and being mistaken for British.
Transcription
The first few days they treated us like British and then they’d come along and asked us when they seen our Canada on there, “We’re not at war with Canada,” they said. “What are you doing here? ” Well, we never told them, it wasn’t up to us. It was up to the high shots to tell them, not us. So we just said, “We’re just Canadians, that’s it. We come from Canada.” So they didn’t treat us too bad for a few weeks until they suddenly realized that we were part of Great Britain.
