Genealogy / Displaced Persons Camp / Work camp and concentration camp difference [86]

What is left of the Deplacement Camp that used to be RAF Longtown (Hallburn Hostel, Longtown):

My Father and his family lived in one half of one of these "huts" for about 4 years, before qualifying for an upgrade ;o)

Wozzy - That is brialliant, you are a ral diamond.

I found my Nana's name under: RMS ANDES. The ANDES sailed from NAPLES to SOUTHAMPTON carrying Polish Troops and Dependents arriving on the 30 September 1946

My father, although now a British citizen, and of Polish parents, was actually born in Italy, waiting for displacement.

Wozzy, DO you think you could email the original file of the "Party_time" picture please. I would love to print it out and take it to show my Nana. The one you have posted here is rather samll when I copy it over.

Also, I have sent you some picture I have of the Pacyna family during thier time at Hallburn Camp. I have included the one of the whole family on this forum also, to see iy anyone else recalls the name/faces.

Thanks.
