Hi all

I have a cover and a postal card from the same family that had one of its' members interned during part of WW II in a Camp on the Isle of Man. I did hear from an acquaintance that knew the family and was told that the internee was eventually found not guilty of any enemy action and was later released

Haven't come across much of anything like this in the past either but, I am sure there is more out there.

Great covers. I had not seen the post card before.

The Isle of Man is not in the Channel Islands as the title of the topic suggests. It is located in the Irish Sea.



The internment camps on the Isle of Man are described in the following :



Here are a few more Isle of Man covers:

I didn't realize that I had posted these covers before.

When I went through my email pictures, they didn't show and about 95% of all my email pica are still available.

Sorry for the double posting
