ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the camp landscapes as depicted in the material culture produced during the years of captivity. The Channel Islanders were deported from their homes in two waves as a reprisal for British action in Persia in the autumn of 1941, during which German subjects working in Iran were rounded up, deported, and interned in Australia. Landscapes are multi-vocal, seen in different ways by different people in the same moment. The Red Cross located the Islanders in December 1942, reversing increasing problems with malnutrition. The campscapes and homescapes created in internment camps were fashioned from recycling the raw materials of Red Cross parcels.
