Continuing from the last post, here's more of Eden Camp...
The camp has several outdoor displays as well, including weapons like anti-aircraft guns, small bomb shelters, and various vehicles.
For the children, the camp has a playground which follows the camp's World War II theme.
Some of the buildings even recreate the camp itself, showing how the German and Italian POWs lived and what they did with their time.
The war effort by the UK armed forces is also shown.
Support for those serving was enhanced by a new invention, the Soyer Boiler, which allowed cooks in the field to prepare large quantities of stew or soup. It is named after M. Soyer, a Frenchman who invented the boiler.
The Red Cross was also very active in caring for the wounded on the battlefield.
The Red Cross also supported POWs on both sides and made sure their rights under the Geneva Conventions were respected.
Eden Camp is an amazing museum to visit and well worth the trip.
