LOCATION OF
POW CAMPS IN GREAT BRITAIN
LIST OF UK POW CAMPS AND
THEIR ASSOCIATED NUMBERS:
This list took me absolutely
ages to type in, so if you do decide to copy it, then I would be grateful if
you would mention where you got it from - Thank you!
My thanks to Chris King
for re-formatting my original typed list into this table format. Note how many
of the camp numbers were reused.
