What a magnificent array of tropical uniforms. (including the Luftwaffe soldier with collar patches).

Some scans from an old gold detecting magazine my brother had lying about, and it shows some photos of one of the POW camps here in Australia, situated at Murchison, Victoria.

Yup, some one found all of the badges in the above photo using a metal detector....

here is page 3...

[Bob Lyons]

that last one shows the layout of the place, and here is the last page, sorry they are small, maybe there is a way of enlarging them to read the text, but basically it just shows the photos of the camp. (this page shows some of the internment coinage used in the camp).

Hallo Hardy,

great picture, looks like two are wearing the ribbon for the Iron Cross, and one of these sports a wound badge as well.

Cheeky with "Great Germany" on the address of the postcard!! Seems they were still cocky in 1943.
