After lunch, members were treated to a superb PowerPoint presentation from Dr Gill Carr of Cambridge University. The subject was the Social History of the Guernsey Internees. Scarce photographs, sketches and paintings of life in the Internment Camps was shown.
These slide shows contain pictures of some of the various items made by the detainees whilst in German prisoner of war camps.
