Doug Johnson Posted 5 November , 2011 Share Posted 5 November , 2011 The WO161 report is by G H Millar and can be downloaded for a small sum from TNA. It is worth downloading the full report as the plan is annotated with the descriptions being in the report. The plan is not a detailed one of the PoW camp itself but of the whole area and is from a hand drawn plan by Millar. It sets the camp into the wider landscape of the training ground.
