I was born in 1956 and grew up in Onaping, about 15 miles from Cartier. Like other commenters here I never heard about this camp. Thanks for doing this.

You’re very welcome Sir. I hadn’t heard of it until about 5 years ago and that’s when my journey began with this project. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. 👍🏻😊

In the late 60's, I worked as a boatsman for the Mount Kineo hotel on Moosehead Lake, Maine. One summer, I was asked to take an older couple to Seboomook, at the head of the lake at Northwest Carry. I took them up in the hotels speedboat, a Century Resorter waterski boat. The couple were very quiet and I think did not enjoy the ride much as it was a cloudy and chill day. I docked on a rickety wood and stone pier, fearful of gouging the boats mahogany on the not-so-well covered rocks. The couple wandered around a bit while I stepped into the small general store-cum post office that was the living room of someone's house. Few people and not much going on there at the best of times. (The post office was a letter tray labeled "In/Out/Stamps" with a part roll of stamps. and some loose change.) The couple said they were ready to return, so back to the Hotel we went. Long after they left the Hotel, It finally dawned on me - the man was a German PW who was held in a small camp there from '43 to '45 and spent the war cutting timber. I always wish I had been Quicker on the Uptake. Having several relatives on "the other side of the hill' I would have tried to engage him a bit more.

Good stuff! You finally got there. Nature really takes over and covers up once-cleared land, making places seem unrecognizable. The basics of camp life were mostly wood in those days, and it all rots (cabins, bunk houses, mills). I see there was some steel bits here and there and somewhere there would be a can and bottle dump. That would be difficult to find but may yield some cool, old bottles. Your editing is great and the voice-over really enhances the video images and clips. The maps shown during the video give us a clear picture of where you are and add to the quality of your production. Sounds like you really did your homework and research on this one, Doug! All the Best to you!

Great story. I was at the POW camp several times in the early 1980s with a few of John Eithers friends. I had a few discussions with John Either about this place. I always went in on snow mobile. The road to Shene was quite open then. It is now barely a single trail as the tees have grown in. In the early 80s you still could see the outline of the camps. Some of the camp walls were 6ft tall. All gone now. Great story. Now in the archives.

Looked pretty tough going to find Camp 101 and not surprised you called it in the end, better weather to come and the camp will not be going anyway. You could see how cold it was with the lake completely frozen over but real surprise all the POW remained in Canada till1946 and not shipped back as soon as the war ended but as POWs go, I would rather have been a POW there, than in Germany! Interesting story of the POWs, good for some, not so for others but that is the nature of war, cheers Alan

Well, great video ! I must add to this,,,,as a young boy grown up in Garson, Ontario, my mother told me a story, since she had grown up in Nairin Center along with her many siblings,,,, one of her brothers, Adlore Bouillon who was about 16 or 17 heard of a jail break of 3 POW,s from the prison camp in Espanola. Apparently there were two of them caught, but, the third got away,,, after missing for so many days, there was a reward put out, for an amount of money,,,,that’s when young Adlore set out with his rifle to see if he could get this reward. After a day or two, he found the POW crossing the Spanish River bridge, on Hwy 17, which we all cross today going east or west. After trying to talk to the escapee with no success, he shot him in the leg, causing him to give up and he was then, with my Uncles help, was taken back to Espanola and was given the reward. Guess young Adlore,s Deer hunting ability, paid off ! James McBane

I have a mystery for you. Years ago, while I was kayaking, I happened upon a island as I paddled a possible old Secondary Trading Outpost for the Hudson Bay Company. We found what could had been the site by metal detecting an area where we unearthed a heap of Hudson Bay Trading Double Head Axes. This mystery is around Ignace Ontario, where there is an island called Graveyard Island. When we camped there we found no evidence of a graveyard or a settlement. We were told at a local diner that it could had been a spot were victims of Typhoid may had been kept? Have you any knowledge of the area?

@PinetreeLine 27 күн бұрын

Very interesting Jim. I’ve been up through Ignace on my way to Woodland Caribou PP for a canoe trip. I’m not familiar with this claim of the island being a refuge for victims of typhoid and after doing a little research there doesn’t appear to be record of this happening but who knows. It’s impossible to tell a story without solid evidence that something did occur in a particular area. Thanks so much for your input and watching!! 👍🏻👊🏻
