Babe the Horse

Babe was one of the horses used to haul swill from the Internment Camp to the Charles Owen Farm. Swill was transported once or twice a day. Before the wagon left the camp a guard would drive a bayonet into each swill barrel to ensure no prisoners were hiding inside. Source: Eleanor (Owen) Cooke of Saint John, NB

Camp Water Tower

This image shows the water tower that was at Camp B/70. The base of this former water tower is one of the few structures that exists at the site to this day.

Photograph of six prisoners, two guards and a local boy.

Glen MacWilliam of Fredericton is the small boy sitting on top of one of the six prisoners sometime between 1943-44. The scene is of the Ripples Railway Station and the prisoners were there to unload supplies for the camp. The building in the back is a grocery store and the wood platform on the left is a stand for a hand water pump. The Railway Station would have been directly in front of the prisoners.
