Photographs from Otto Dick's photo album depicting his service with conscientious objectors at Clear Lake in Riding Mountain National Park during the Second World War.
This collection documents the activities of members of the Civilian Public Service (CPS) Camp #58 in Farnhurst, Delaware from 1942 through 1946. Camp reunion files give insight into how the CPS experience affected the lives of those who served. Included are D. Paul Miller's personal scrapbook during his time of service, materials related to the camp's softball team (the Red Comb Arrows), The Crusaders Quartet, and later circle letters and reunion documents.
Stanley Sauder, Wayne Gingrich (Preston, Ontario), Elmon Lichti (Tavistock, Ontario) outside the blacksmith shop at Montreal River. Date on back of photograph is 1941, but these men are on the camp list for 1942-1943.
