P.O.W. CAMP, NEYS , ONTARIO

Today I had a phone request from Marathon Museum, someone is coming to do a documentary on the P.O.W. Camp at Neys. The Marathon person knew our Nipigon Museum photo archive had photos. They were taken by Mr. Everett in 1942 and 1943.

The Leader would sometimes wrestle with this bear.
Mr. Everett was not too sure if this was 1942 or 1943 when he took this photo.

    My Grandmother Doris Michano-Fortier and grandfather Ed Fortier both worked at the Neys German P.O.W. camp in Terrace Bay, Ontario. My great aunt Mary Michano-Lees (Doris' youngest sister) told me that they used to walk to the camp from Port Coldwell by following the CPR tracks

      Thanks for your comments. Photos from "history" help people connect to the past of their family.
