Milne's contribution, titled 'It depends on the Book', and with two illustrations, takes up p.10. Milne writes that 'To a prisoner of war, shut up for an indefinite time in an enemy country, any book must be a haven of escape from his thoughts; any book must be better than no book. [...] the Prisoners of War Department of the British Red Cross and St. John War Organisation have been helping to see that they get and shall continue to get the books which they want, the books which they ask for, the books which will bring them most comfort.' Other features include: 'Prisoners at Work', 'Official Reports from the Camps', 'The Letters they write Home', 'News from the Far East', 'They plan their Future' and 'Any Questions?' COPAC lists runs at the Imperial War Museum and three other places. No reprint of the article has been traced.
