BBC News this morning included a report commemorating the centenary of the closure of the WWI Internment Camp at Knockaloe on the Isle of Man.

The website (knockaloe.im), run by the charity keeping alive its memory, has photographs taken inside the camp. These include workshops, in one of which our stamp box would have been made.

It’s a beautifully made box and the maker has inscribed his (they were all men) prisoner number on its base.
