Bob Lyons Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) 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).Bob Edited April 3, 2007 by Bob Lyons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
