Good Morning Graham,

Many thanks for your suggestion, and for taking the time to make it. I have looked at this collection before, but had to look again just in case there were any new additions, but alas no. I am thinking of getting in touch with the Rugby Advertiser and Coventry Evening Telegraph, to see if they have anything in their archives, as you never know, but I would welcome any other suggestions.

Roger

Dear Eileen,

Thank you for your prompt reply, and it is so good to be in contact with someone else who remembers the Stretton Camp. You are quite right about initially being occupied by 'squatters', as there were so many homeless people, and when the Italian PoW's were sent home, the huts didn't stay empty for long. Rugby Council did indeed take over responsibility, but as yet we have no dates, and I will be writing to the Council to see what information they have, and it is possible that they may have some photos (fingers crossed). You mentioned the name 'Warren', which is not on my list, but then there are several names still missing. I also do not have the surname 'Stalbridge' on my list, so perhaps this is your 'Married' name?

I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Roger

Dear Mrs Stalbridge,

My name is Roger Clemons and I am Treasurer of the Stretton-on-Dunsmore History Society, and I am also looking for a photograph of the Stretton Camp. I have been in contact with one of the families who lived there, Mr David Walden and his Mother, and they have been extremely helpful with many of the names of other people who lived there. If I get hold of a photo, I will forward it onto you, and I would love to hear from you about what you can remember. I do have an aerial photo of the camp that I could forward, which was taken in 1946, but it is a bit fuzzy.

Best wishes, Roger
