Sir,

With regard to Mr. Jenkins's letter in January 10 edition, 'Can Anyone help?', I would like to add my recollection of The Camp at Kilgetty.

In 1944 I used to deliver milk to the camp, which was in fact built during the Second World War to accommodate Italian prisoners of war. The Italian POWs occupied the camp for a number of years until they were moved out and replaced with German POWs. The Germans also occupied the camp for some time.

When the Germans were taken from the camp, it was then that it was occupied by the Polish male evacuees.

The Italian and German prisoners were given some freedom to roam, being allowed to use the football pitch at Newton Field and permitted to walk unattended as far as Trewern Bridge on Ryelands Lane, where there was a sign informing them that they should pass no further.

Terry James,

Little Newton,

Kilgetty.
