First POW Camp Found?

What could be the first POW camp has been found in England. Used during the Napoleonic war, it is one of the first camps that humanly housed thousands of prisoners. More then 1,700 prisoners died during the 17 year history which is rather remarkable for the time period and sanitary conditions. To put that into context, over 12,000 U.S. Union prisoners died at Andersonville prison.

In the coming months we should be learning more about this camp and how it operated...stay tuned!
