New book of Island's wartime history

'Friend or Foe' launched this week

A unique book highlighting a little known aspect of Island's wartime history was officially launched this week (Thurs 18th)

Port Erin and Port St Mary were the sites of Europe's only all-female prisoner internment camps.

Seven members of the Rushen Heritage Trust have spent the last four years researching stories from the period for a new book.

'Friend or Foe' tells of the uniqueness of locals sharing the south of the Island with so-called "enemy aliens".

Professor Hugh Davidson is from the Trust.
