Steve, I am attaching a sketch
of Camp Forrest that was done by
a POW there about 1945. My
step-father served as an
interpreter there during the war
as he had been born in Germany
and spoke the language. We have
a few more sketches done by
prisoners and some of them are
signed. Is there a list of the
prisoners who were at Camp
Forrest?
Thank you for your
help.

Steve, could you please make a correction on
the caption of the sketch of Camp Forrest
that you have posted on your web site. The
sketch was done by a POW at Camp Forrest. My
step father (not father-in-law) was in the
US Army and stationed at the camp. He was
fluent in German and served as an
interpreter. After his death we found
several sketches that he had collected, all
done by the POWs, not him. This sketch was
signed, but the signature is difficult to
read. It could be something like K. Ropns.
On another sketch, it looks like Karl Ropns.
I am fairly sure last name is incorrect.
Thanks so much for taking care of this.
