Axis Prisoners of War in Lincolnshire
In the summer of 1941, Italian POWs captured in North Africa were brought to Allington (Grantham) to construct a POW camp. Opened in August, this was the first of some twenty camps in Lincolnshire that held Axis POWs between 1941 and 1948. POWs provided a vital source of agricultural labour across the UK, including the famers of Lincolnshire. As their employment expanded, Axis POWs became a feature of the local landscape. With the lifting of the fraternisation ban in December 1946, POWs came into closer contact with the British people and struck up friendships with local families. Not all the POWs returned home and instead opted to settle down in the county. This project explores the presence and legacy of Axis POWs in Lincolnshire during and after the Second World War. The aim is to collect and preserve memories and material associated with them and the various camps, hostels, and sites used to accommodate Axis POWs.

BGU thanked for “gorgeous review”
Canadian writer Jordan Scott, winner of awards across Germany, Japan, China, Holland and Italy, has contacted BGU to thank us for a review of his book that appeared in the March edition of our library newsletter, The Four Corners. The review is by our PGCE English subject lead Dr Clare Lawrence and highlights the way his book I talk like a river addresses the issue of dysfluency, especially for pupils. “I’m a huge fan of classroom talk”, Clare confirms. “I stress to my PGCE students how discussions, debates, even disagreements are powerful elements of active learning. However, we must also be sensitive to the fact that for some pupils, speaking is not the most accessible form of communication”. Associate Professor Clare Lawrence has a strong research interest in ’giving voice’ to those who are underheard or underrepresented. “It isn’t those who shout the loudest who always have the most to say”, she suggests. “Jordan Scott articulates so powerfully in his book the experience of living with a stutter. Ultimately, his communication is both stronger and richer for having to overcome a barrier”. Jordan emailed the university to share his appreciation for what he described as a “gorgeous review”, adding, “I ever get around to visiting the UK I'll make sure to let you know”. You can read Clare’s article on page 16 of Volume 5 Issue 1 of Four Corners, which can be accessed here. -
