| 520 | _a"Three Times and Out" by Mervin C. Simmons and Nellie L. McClung is a memoir recounting the experiences of a Canadian soldier during World War I, focusing on his harrowing journey as a prisoner of war, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Private Simmons, using his firsthand account to delve into the trials faced by soldiers who were captured, the anguish of separation from comrades, and the indomitable spirit of hope and resilience amid dire circumstances. The opening of the memoir begins with the announcement of war and the immediate impact it has on a group of laborers in British Columbia, including Private Simmons. As the story unfolds, the narrative shifts to Simmons’ training and experiences at the front lines, his eventual injury, and capture by German forces. Through vivid descriptions of battles, emotional turmoil, and camaraderie with fellow soldiers, the text highlights the brutality of war while interspersing moments of human connection and compassion. The introduction sets a gripping stage for Simmons' eventual imprisonment and serves as a poignant reminder of the personal sacrifices made during the conflict.
