Camp 32 at Hull, Quebec was one of the internment facilities operated under Canada's War Measures Act, holding German and other Axis nationals — and, controversially, a number of anti-Nazi refugees — during the Second World War. This 25-cent chit belongs to a small-denomination scrip series issued for internal canteen transactions, keeping detainees from holding Canadian currency directly.
By 1946 most internment operations were winding down rapidly, which makes late-dated camp scrip like this genuinely uncommon — production runs were small and most surviving pieces were confiscated or discarded at release.
