| Summary | |||||
| Description | Gentleman's country residence set up as an outpost of Plumtree Prisoner of War Camp in the summer of 1918 for Austrian and Hungarian soldiers. The prisoners were employed on local farms doing ditching and other jobs and also at the Barnstone Cement Works. For this the Foreman and Skilled Workers were paid 11/2d. an hour and other Workers 1d. an hour for an 8 hour day without deductions. The main building was closed up and the prisoners were housed in guest and service rooms and the kitchen, wash house, stables and garage made up the rest of the camp. The prisoners were supervised by Sergeant Joice, with a guard of one Corporal and ten men all under the command of Captain F.A.B. Liebenrood, who was based at Plumtree and visited Langar once or twice a week. An Austrian Stabsfeldwebel assisted the British troops. The M.O. was Dr Eaton, a civilian doctor based in Bingham. | ||||
