Liberation of Holland 1945 // PoW Camp 2228

[dave1948]

Hi Guys,

My father sent a ceramic plate commemorating the Liberation of Holland 1945 from Pow Camp 2228 back to England on 22 Feb 1946.  I now have the plate and the Customs Declaration (which he kept in his Army Pay Book).

That is all I know about it. It was suggested to me to put a picture up and see if anyone can add any more information of any sort.

Regards,  Dave.

Yes, you are right about the back markings. I assume 1061 would be the serial number (or possibly Style number).

Thanks Dave
