S1E1 - Featherston Military Camp with Neil Frances
09/11/2024 | 52 mins.
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'.
