More Pictures of Dutch Soldiers at Wood Farm Camp

This week I was contacted by another historian who has kindly provided me with some more pictures of the Dutch soldiers based at Wood Farm Camp during World War Two. On seeing the shots, I remembered that I had also received a picture of a commerorative plate which was presented to the Welcome Club on Church Street by members of the Dutch brigade resident in Malvern. I'll add these new pictures to the main article on the Dutch soldiers in Malvern Wells during the war. Enjoy!

More Pictures of Wood Farm Camp

This week's blog post takes us back to Wood Farm Camp near Malvern. I've managed to source some pictures of the Dutch soldiers who stayed here during 1945, to add to the information sent to me by an anonymous researcher a couple of weeks ago (for the full blog entry on this topic, click here). I hope you like the pictures: as usual, if you have any memories or recollections of your own to add, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the comments below!
