The whole Camp X thing is very interesting, surprising how many people are unaware of it in the first place.

Had you heard of it before Karen ??  Undecided

I seem to remember a few years ago ... there was talk of it ... then it seemed like it was hushed up !!

How cool would it be for somebody to find their relative there ??  Smiley

Yes, I have heard of it before.   Hmmm, why do I know about that??  There might have been on show on Canadian television about it.  My dad is into military history, so maybe he was telling me about it.

LOL, I just talked to my dad and he said there's been a few canadian tv shows done on it.  One is the Sea Hunter's which is on the History Channel.

Camp X is off the 401, down by the lake in Oshawa (just outside Toronto)
