In this first episode I’m joined by historian and author Neil Frances to talk about the history of Featherston Military Camp, in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand.
Originally built as a training camp in World War One, it became a prisoner of war camp in World War Two and the site of the infamous ‘Featherston Incident’.
