Pris oner of Wa r , Internment Camps and Gi bra1tar Camp , Jamaica .

After the family units were completed at Up Park Camp, they and t he rest of the Camp,
were guarded by the Local Defence Force and the Gibraltarian Pioneer Corps, the numbers
in the units having dwindled due to the release of Italians on capitulation of Italy,
and the subsequent release and return to normal life of the Germans who had been
naturalized but who had been interned during the wave of anti German hysteria in the
early days of the war .

Correspondence from Hanover Camp is scarcer than that from the Camp but the ladies
had to follow the same regulations as the men, their correspondence also falls i n t o
three stages; first manuscript endor sements , then typed and finally handstarnps . To date ,
no examples of postal stationery has been recorded used from Hanover Camp, but there
seems to be no reason why they should not exist .

WIC 1 . Manusc ript covers.

As mentioned all the endorsements are in manuscript, except for the handstarnps of the
Postal Censorship Service which often appear as there are no other censorship markings .
