SATURDAY August 13 saw the culmination of 18 months of hard work by a small group set up to commemorate the centenary of the opening of the prisoner of war (PoW) camp above Kinlochleven on August 11, 1916, writes Iain MacNicol of Appin.
Some 500 Prussian and Bavarian soldiers arrived on board the Loch Ness from the Clyde where they had been transferred from Stobs PoW camp, near Hawick, which was Scotland’s main PoW camp.
