Hello Brett I took my daughter to see Hut 9, after she mentioned she was doing a project in school. We took photos and used them, together with the information on your website. Seeing Hut 9 brought the project to life for my daughter - she has really enjoyed looking into the history of island farm. I recall seeing sections of wall with drawings on them some years ago - do you now what happened to them? I really think that they should be on display somewhere. Jason |

Hello, superb site, found as a reference when reading Robert Ryan's Night Crossing. Born in 1950 near Bedwas received many stories of events during the war but great to read the truth. I shall digest the contents in more detail. Many thanks for your work. |

| Hello I came upon this well documented historical piece about a time that was rarely spoken of. I was born in Bridgend and raised in North Cornelly. Both parents were involved in WW11 mother in ATS Teleprinter and father RAF Bomber. I lived the first 2 years in the quonsets in Boverton before moving to Cornelly. The log of bombs dropped in the area is astounding. I will return and read more. Thank you for your dedication and research. |

Hello
I came across your site after reading Bill Ash's book "Under the Wire". I wondered what life was like for German POWs and if there had been any escape attempts. I thought your site was brilliantly informative and I loved all of the newspaper clippings. Someone should make a film about the Big Escape. Many thanks for such a good site. |

Hello
I found you by chance after seeing the 'Coast' feature. What a magnificent website - the very, very best of what the internet can do. The time and research you have put into it is extraordinary. It is full of detailed and fascinating information, brilliant photographs, great links - all put together in an easy-to-navigate package. But more important still, the tone you have set in telling the story, and the humanity that clearly underlies it, makes it a very moving experience as well. Thank you. Ossie (I am a friend of the daughter and grand-daughter of General Frido von Senger und Etterlin, one of the camp's senior 'guests'!) |

| Hello. Excellent site this. I have a great interest in WWII and have driven past the site of Island Farm many times and although I was aware it was a POW camp and there had been a mass escape from it I must admit I didn't know much more than that. I have now had the pleasant experience of finding out through the luck of stumbling upon your website. Thank you. |
