About this deal

When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. This is a very formalised Gedenktuin. A formal covered gateway leads into it, while clearly demarcated perimeter walls enclose it and mark the boundaries. Bas reliefs of kappies and babies’ booties are set into the walls. The Gedenktuin area is completely covered over with stone and features faux-graves indicated by long lines of raised stones. Centre place and on a plinth is a memorial with ‘the names of the dead’, with the remains of the dead most likely encased within or beneath it. To one side there is a rough-hewn pyramid with a 1937 dedication and next to it there is a 1989 memorial pyramid, also in rough stone, added to with an inscription saying that the Gedenktuin was memorialised on 10 October 1999, a hundred years after the start of the war. 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.

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. The camp is open to visitors from 10.30am to 4.30pm from Thursday - Sunday, April - October. Donations welcome.

The fencing is metal and it has a turnstile entrance. Its 1930s memorial bears the words ‘honour our dead’. The grave namestones cemented into its base are a mixture of ‘restored’ and original. The remains of the dead are located beneath the memorial, moved there to protect against the effects of climate and digging animals.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.” Guests are encouraged to follow directions straight to their pitch and avoid going into the farmyard or farmhouse. **** Custom Campfire Mug, Personalized Coffee Mug, Customized Mug, Design Your Own Mug, 15 Ounce Mug, Several Colors 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.

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. 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. Bill Jones was born in Bridlington and currently lives in Ampleforth, North Yorkshire. He was a journalist before joining Granada Television inWhen asked to describe what, exactly, ‘camp’ means, designer Dame Zandra Rhodes finds herself at a loss for words. “I think it’s an extremely difficult subject,” she says with a laugh. “It’s a minefield.” Rhodes is not alone. Since it entered the English language in the late 19th Century, the term has been subject to various interpretations, and there still doesn’t seem be a consensus.

Situated at the side of a Dutch Reformed Church, this has been made into a Gedenktuin rather than an ordinary cemetery, but a low-key one. There is a formal entrance with gates and symbolic perimeter fencing. Long raised stone-covered enclosures, presumably holding the remains of the dead, are situated in an otherwise flat gravel expanse. A rough-hewn stone memorial provides a dedicatory text and has a 1918 date. ‘The names of the dead’, a very large number of them for this was a camp which suffered a number of epidemics, are etched onto granite slabs placed on the sides of an elevated shape on a plinth. 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. 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.

Part of the regular Klerksdorp cemetery, there is a set aside area of concentration camp gravestones, and on first sight these look like they might be original ones. On second sight, their even regularity and uniformity, along with randomly placed grave markers and name plaques, indicate otherwise, that these were ‘restored’ at some earlier point to look like a set of graves ought. Some of the name plaques are ‘original’, but this most likely means dating from the period after the War had ended. At the time few people had the resources to commission such things. Standing between this separate area and the rest of the cemetery is a tall memorial like a bell tower with a dedication stone, and to one side of it and dating from a later period are ‘the names of the dead’, etched onto granite and cemented inside a shelter with an overhanging top.
