Camp X opened 75 years ago

[Jon Skagfeld]

Greetings, Brian...

Are the artifacts shown on the web-site, wholly or partly from Stewart's stuff that he had in the Quonset hut at the Oshawa airport?

If not, whatever happened to all of his collection?

I recall speaking to him many years ago when he said that when he died the powers that be (Oshawa city council, I suspect) would bulldoze everything into the ground.

Comments?

The Camp X Historical Society had many artifacts from the Camp at their small Museum in Whitby, as well as other SOE items.
When we lost the Museum space in the centennial Building, some went to CSIS HQ for display and other items are in storage.

I heard that the original building might be moved to the Oshawa Museum, if so, I would like to help out with a Camp X display and SOE display.

I helped run that Museum and gave a tour to people from Bletchley Park while it was open.
In return I recieved a Private Tour of the Park a few years ago.

I have a few SOE and Camp X related items, so if the building move is on, perhaps I would be willing to give a long term loan of some of my items for display.
