Further to my note in Bulletin No. 12, p. 8, I would like to clarify the point that the occupants were evacuated from The Rock of Gibraltar at the beginning of the War, not from the Camp in Jamaica. This evacuation probably led to the naming of the Camp. Further information has now come to light that the internees of the Internment Camp together with the guards and the guards' families sailed for Hamburg in February or March 1947. The internees disembarked at Hamburg, and the guards and their families returned to the Rock of Gibraltar as by that time the evacuation period was over, and they could return to their homes. This emptied the Camp in Jamaica, and the Post Office probably closed at that time.
Since writing the original notes I have obtained a cover from an inmate of the Camp addressed to a person in Scotland. This bears a circular mark 35mm in diameter with the words 'Gibraltar' at the top and 'Camp' at the bottom, on the front in black. It appears to be another type of Unit mark, as the stamp is cancelled in Kingston 15 May 1942. Whilst the majority of Service mail was handed in at Cross Roads P.O., some was taken direct to the Kingston G.P.O.
