Hi all.
I just wondered if anyone could help me with a picture of the Llanmartin camp in Newport, Wales.
I have been researching the story of U-992 and her commander Hans Falke for a while now, and as I'm tidying up the last bits and pieces, I am trying to find a picture of the POW camp where Falke was held until May 1947.
Oh, by the way, I just read the book Another Place, Another Time by Werner Hirschmann, and found out that he was there for a time as well in 1947.
I've tried the Social History dept. of Newport Museum and Art Gallery, but they didn't have any pictures.
There must be pictures of this camp somewhere out there....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
