          Just a little correction here camp 30 was near Bowmanville Ontario not Ottawa. You might be confusing it with Oshawa which is also near Bowmanville. Both are near Toronto.

          Camp 32 H was just north of Ottawa in Gatineau (Hull) Quebec. This was a labour (logging) camp and until recently had a few buildings left.

          Wainwright Alberta has some of the best preserved relics (buildings) but it is still a very active military base so access is somewhat limited.

            Thank you for providing further information as to exact locations but I was not the one who was confused. If anyone was confused as to where he was located it was the POW himself as evidenced by what he wrote on the reverse side of his portraits. This is not the only POW that has written that Camp 30 was in Ottawa as I have posted others on this thread.

              No problem.

              Funny you fell for a 65 year deception trick.

              In order to conceal the exact location of the Camps across Canada. All mail going in and out was processed in places other than the camp location.

              Most of Ontario it was Ottawa, Alberta was Quebec City and I think Quebec City was Moncton New Brunswick.

              Would be neat to see what other addresses were used would make and interesting study.

              How may Cards do you have from POWs in Canada???

                Just for fun I had a snoop in some old TV archives and found this interview with an ex-german pow

                http://archives.cbc.ca/war_conflict/...r/topics/1642/

                He managed to escape form a camp but didn't get very far

                some other good links there as well
