Interior shot of one of the office buildings on the operations site. During wartime this building would have been laid out with desks, typewriters, telephones, and bustling with administrative personnel. Post war, this building and many others like it were used to provide temporary accommodation to many Polish servicemen, who on release from POW camps did not wish to return to their homeland. Photographs were taken during 2002. © Paul Clouting |
