Marching in

Marching in
Prisoners of War arriving at Cultybraggan Camp 21 after marching from the station under escort. Re-enactment from the excellent camp open day.

The prisoner of war camp at Cultybraggan was completed in late 1941 and originally used to house Italian prisoners. It was later used as a transit camp for Germans and as a high security establishment for holding ardent nazis. Later it became a MOD training centre until closure in 2004. It is now owned by the local community through the Comrie Development Trust. The camp still contains a large number of nissen huts and these make a spectacular sight.

No nonsense attitude from your sergeant here. Must have been a good day.
