Blairvadoch Camp, Rhu, Helensburgh,
Dumbartonshire
From Donald Fullerton at the
Helensburgh Advertiser - 'The
camp was actually at Shandon, in the grounds of Blairvadach House which is
now Argyll and Bute Council offices, and was described as 'a German Working
Camp'. The site had some 40 Nissen huts, and possibly other huts and buildings,
which housed prisoners of war assigned to work in the area. There was
another POW camp nearby at Stuckenduff, Shandon.'
News article : "The Shandon prisoner-of-war
camps were an important feature of life in Helensburgh and Garelochside
during World War Two.
So much so that there was a great response to the appeal in Eye on Millig
last week from Malcolm Sanders for information about camp no.582 at
Blairvadach, more or less on the site of the existing outdoor centre but
south of the existing road — although it was north of the original shore
road.
Garelochhead reader Mrs Fiona Hamilton remembers it well, and confirms that
it was classed as a work camp for the German servicemen.
She tells me: “The prisoners were sent out to farms, gardens and various
other work places as there was a shortage of workers as the men had been
recruited into our own services. I knew this camp well, as my father was
gardener at the Eda Yarrow Home just along the road.
“Stuckenduff camp, now the site of a large housing estate, on the other hand
was made up of professional class prisoners, mainly former businessmen — one
was, I believe, the editor of a leading Berlin newspaper.
“They worshipped regularly with us at Shandon Church, and at Christmas in
the years they were at the camp they made beautiful toys of all descriptions
for our Sunday School children's parties. They also took on the role of
Father Christmas, and helped to entertain the children.
“They had a wonderful choir which sang in Shandon and various churches in
Helensburgh where concerts were held for funds for the various war effort
appeals. To hear 'Silent Night' sung in German was a very emotional
experience.
“There was one local marriage, and this prisoner remained here and was, if
memory serves me correctly, eventually a management team member of either
Polaroid or Westclox in the Vale of Leven.”
Mrs Hamilton says that there were other work camps, one at the top of Glen
Fruin at the Garelochhead end, and another at Whistlefield. When the
Blairvadach prisoners were eventually repatriated to Germany that camp then
housed Italian POWs until the end of the war in the Far East. [POWs or
Internees?]
“They, however, were not allowed out of camp, although some of the Italian
business families were allowed to visit them at the fences,” she recalls.
The 40 Blairvadach Nissen huts then became temporary accommodation while new
housing was built in Rhu, Garelochhead and Cardross.
She added: “Some of the Germans kept in touch with local families whom they
had been friends with for some time, but gradually through time, contact was
lost.”
|Childhood memories|
Mention of the Stuckenduff camp brought back vivid memories for Shandon
resident Mrs Elinor Grummitt, some similar to Mrs Hamilton's. As a child she
lived on the estate of Shandon House where she was born.
“My mother used to take me to Stuckenduff Farm to buy eggs, and we had to
pass the camp,” she tells me.
“I always felt a bit apprehensive at the sight of the German POWs in their
brown trousers and tunics with the letters POW on the back — but on
reflection they probably did not pose any threat to local people. In fact
they seemed to become part of the community, as I remember one Christmas in
particular when they were escorted along to Shandon Church for the Christmas
service. When 'Silent Night' was sung, one POW I could see had tears running
down his cheeks. And I am sure he wasn't the only one.
“They also made a wonderful gesture, to the delight of the children of
Shandon Sunday School, by presenting to us at our Christmas party toys which
they had made from driftwood collected from the beach. Each boy received a
wooden hobby horse, and each girl a doll's rocking cradle. The toys were
beautifully made and brightly painted, and gave us endless hours of
enjoyment. I do believe one or two of the POWs actually stayed on in the
locality after the war. I can't confirm it, but one, I believe, worked at
Stuckenduff Farm.”
I also had an email from 'dji b' saying that he has noticed a wooden cabin
in a dilapidated condition still at Stuckenduff, and he wonders if this may
have some connection with that camp."
More memories from the days of the World War Two
German prisoner-of-war camps in Helensburgh and district arrived at the Helensburgh
Advertiser:
This time the Whistlefield camp, situated roughly where the viewpoint now
is, is recalled by reader Stella Irving.
She tells me: “My father became friendly with several of the men, and they
were frequent visitors to our home at Portincaple. I was very young at the
time, but can remember being very fond of them, especially when one
Christmas they gave me a dolls house which they had made for me at the camp.
It was beautiful, and they had made all the furniture as well. The suite was
made from match boxes and covered in blue velvet. One of the men had been an
artist in Germany, and he did miniature paintings for the house. Sadly I no
longer have it, but how I wish it had been kept.
“They also made a few pieces of furniture for our home, one being a wardrobe
— and its door panels were painted by the artist. The wardrobe has gone, but
I did keep the painted panels. Another gift they gave us was a boat in a
bottle, which I still have.”
Stella's parents corresponded with their German friends for a long time
after they went home, and she and her mother went to stay with two of them
and their families in 1949." |

Raynes Park Camp, Bushey Road, Wimbledon, Surrey
I have been informed that this was; 'located on the Robin
Hood recreation ground, off Bushey Road, where originally the gun site and
searchlights were during the war. People used to take pieces of old wood
from the bomb sites and give it to the prisoners, who then made toys and
other useful items out of these.' Unfortunately the message did not
include a name for the contributor, but these were childhood memories. |

Further entries with unknown status :-
a. From David Mowbray who lived about half a mile from RAF Winthorpe just
north of Newark, Nottinghamshire on the road to Lincoln (A46). The RAF base
began in the very early 1940s as a Fairey Battle station with some huts
alongside the road. Later they vacated the huts for bigger and better
accommodation on the east side of the airfield. the planes progressed from
Wellingtons, thru Manchesters, Stirlings to Lancasters.
The original huts lay empty for a while but towards 1944/5 they were occupied by
Italian Prisoners of War (or whatever their status was). We children used to
call to them and knew the them as PoWs.
