A metal fence surrounds the monument, protecting it from vandals. The marker is covered by a wooden roof. Thirty-four concrete steps lead to the monument. The vertical part of each step honors a local mason group—most are from North Carolina but Ohio, New Jersey, and Oregon are represented.

The book also features the camp’s history during the Cold War, its ROC post and Cold War bunker and as late as the 1960s and ’70s it was used by the Combined Cadet Forces for training purposes, as well as regiments that served in areas of conflict overseas. After the war, from 1948, it was used by the MOD as a training centre and was touched by every major post-war conflagration including Vietnam and the troubles in Northern Ireland. During this period until its closure in 2004, it was used by many thousands of military personnel from TA, RAF Auxiliary to cadets. It was subsequently bought by Comrie Development Trust, on behalf of the village, in 2007 using community right to buy legislation. It now has mixed uses including allotments, a community orchard, a catering company, cheese-maker, sour-dough baker,artisan workshops anda Men's Shed. Please note, bookings for electric pitches require a minimum 3 night stays over bank holiday weekends. It holds the record of three World Cup titles with their traditional foes, South Africa; and has dominated the Southern Hemisphere competitions at international level (the Tri-Nation/Rugby Championship) and at franchise level (Super Rugby) with teams from Argentina, Australia and South Africa also playing in the two tiers. New Zealand, with their trans-Tasman rivals Australia, hosted the first Rugby World Cup in 1987 and duly won the Webb Ellis Trophy.Camp 21 Comrie, also known as Cultybraggan Camp, is the UK’s best preserved prisoner of war camp. Lying in the heart of rural Perthshire in Scotland, the camp’s history is a fascinating one. Built two miles south of the village of Comrie as a camp for detainees, its first prisoner was a British soldier but in the following years it housed thousands of prisoners of war captured in North Africa and Europe. When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. So what does ‘camp’ mean where Notes on Fashion is concerned? According to Rhodes, “it really means something that’s over the top in its concept, that wouldn’t go unnoticed and [that has] a sense of humour about it; but it’s not mainstream, and it’s joyous and out of the ordinary …” And certainly the exhibition’s chief focus is on deliberate camp. As Thierry Mugler – whose work is also in the exhibition – tells BBC Designed, camp is “freedom and fun mental health”. Or, as Cleto puts it: “It may be roughly described as a form both of performance and of perception celebrating theatricality and excess, improvising reality as a stage for outrageously ironic self-display and reinvention.” The Orange River Station concentration camp was located a few miles outside Hopetown, distant from Kimberley as much as Johannesburg, Pretoria and Bloemfontein, but not from military action because in a strategic position, with a British military camp close by. Originally adjacent to Doornbuilt farm and now part of it, much upkeep has gone into the concentration camp cemetery area. The ‘original’ graves have been rendered neat, proper and seemly. While they may appear as restored, photographs from the war period and just after show something very different: careful mounds of earth with neither head-stones nor numbers, then stones placed on these, then later surrounds are added. In the most recent work, the number-plates on graves are often not sequential and anyway differ from the kerkhoff plan of graves. There is an obelisk memorial which has no date, and from its style this dates possibly from the 1940s to the 60s. ‘The names of the dead’? Absent.

The passion for rugby in New Zealand compensates for the country’s population which is by far the smallest of the top 10 rugby-playing nations in the world, and the influx of good rugby players from the nearby Pacific Islands, keep the New Zealand teams at the top of the pile. Very different from this, much closer to the town there is a very sad small cemetery mixed with Gedenktuin characteristics. This was unconsecrated and where unbaptised babies who died were buried. The formal entrance is surrounded by layers of later official nationalist memorialisation; and beyond this is the cemetery, unruly with grasses and flowers in spring and summer. The camp is open to visitors from 10.30am to 4.30pm from Thursday - Sunday, April - October. Donations welcome.

According to a large information plaque put up by the Blue Ridge Parkway next to the marker, Family Gatherings, Revivals and Assemblies are rooted deeply in the culture of Appalachia. So gathering of Freemasons can be likened to Decoration Days at cemeteries for descendants of families who lived in the parks. Conditions at the camp were primitive but there was a re-education program which is explored in depth. Lectures were followed by occasional hot debates and the book takes a fresh look at the infamous murder of Feldwebel Wolfgang Rosterg, who may not have been the only man subjected to a fanatical show trial within the bounds of the camp. In addition, life stories of some of the prisoners are included, from submariners to ordinary soldiers as well as reminiscences from the British. Whether you are interested in its origins as a World War II prisoner of war camp, or want to reminisce about your stays here in the military or as a cadet or maybe you just want to learn about the way in which the Trust and local community are using and developing the camp, we look forward to welcoming you here soon. The short trail is lined with mountain laurel, rhododendrons, and maple trees. Now spring flowers such as bluets, Robin's plantain, and wood betony are in bloom. Elk occasionally graze in the fields below the monument.

As one fanatic plots a mass breakout and glorious march on London, Max Hartmann dreams of the oath he pledged to the teenage bride he scarcely knows and the child he’s never met. Where do his loyalties really lie? To Hitler or to the life he left behind in the bombed ruins of his homeland? The fantasy shows started in the mid-1950s, and the purpose was really to take the limits off the stylist’s creativity,” says James Bronner, VP of trade-show operations. “Fantasy was not limited by social norms or practical applications of style. The limit was taken off of your creativity to really allow the artists to be uninhibited in their expression. They’re only limited by two things: their own imaginations and the craftsmanship of their hands to bring that imagination into manifestation. You’ll see things like fish bowls on the models’ heads or a person dressed as an Avatar from head to toe.” See how the camp is being used today by local businessesand the Comrie Communitywhile preserving the history for future generations The Bronner Brothers International Beauty Show has been heralded as the “hairdresser’s fashion week.” While the show features a variety of competitions, it’s the Fantasy Competition that exhibits the boldest and most imaginative hair spectacles, encompassing camp sensibilities and the modern, visual interpretations that we define those by today.
