FW: Amherst Internment Camp (World War I)
Does anyone have any information or photos from the Amherst Internment Camp?
It existed from 1914 to 1919 in the Town of Amherst. It was the largest POW
camp in Canada during WWI; a maximum of 853 prisoners were housed at one
time at the old Malleable Iron foundry on Park street.
My grandfather was a guard at the camp (to the best of the records I can
find).
Thank You
