Yesterday I checked the Museum Shop bookshelves. The book is being reprinted & will be on sale
in December. Price as yet unknown but I am quite sure much less than the internet price.
i looked at 2 boxes of photos exterior & interior views----as varied in subject as possible.
Many include groups of men at work & leisure ,an amazing variety of sports - gym, bowling,
theatre, orchestra,craftwork. Posed groups of men from individual huts seem to have been turned into postcards & sent to family in UK & now donated to the Museum & therefore the
sender has been identified whereas most are just groups of internees / aliens as they were then
known Many of the inmates did I understand call themselves "Most loyal enemy aliens" ---meaning loyal to the British Crown. There was only one named photo of Camp3 Compound 2 no hut
number---a group of smartly dressed ,well groomed & apparently well fed men who were neighbours,posing at the entrance door.
