SECOND WORLD WAR - A RARE PRISONER OF WAR CARVED 'SOUP BONE' VASE - DOUGLAS INTERNMENT CAMP ISLE-OF- MAN carved with roses on a rustilated base and mounted on a wooden stand, the base inscribed 'Made by W. S. Falkenthal P.O.W. No.2965 Douglas - Camp', 20cm high During the Great War there were two main POW sites on the Island, a requisitioned holiday camp in Douglas and a purpose built camp on agricultural land at Knockaloe near the town of Peel.This was a large site divided into four compounds using prefabricated huts and even had its own railway link. Knockaloe peaked in July 1916 at 22,769 men and the smaller Douglas camp held around 5,000. With transfers to other camps there were probably around 30,000 men, almost equal to the resident civilian population allowing for those absent on military service. During the Second war camps were located in Douglas, Onchan, Peel, Port Erin/Port St Mary and Ramsey. These held much smaller numbers and sometimes only for a few months as many were swiftly released. Apart from refugees from the Nazis there were large numbers of Italians held in several camps, thers included Finns in Ramsey, over 100 Japanese and many other nationalities. There were also political detainees including those held under section 18B of the Defence (General)Regulations. This enabled the Government to imprison those thought to be a danger to nation, including members of the IRA and the British Union of Fascists.
