Salamanca Camp

My name is Ian Morton and I live 20 miles from the Salamanca Camp which is now the Toledo ITVET campus.

I was out that way recently and was intending to pay my respect to the service men killed in the Puma crash which is still remembered by locals and with gratitude to all the servicemen who came to Southern Belize.

Although the cairns (for the Puma Crash and the Truck crash) have both been moved to Price Barracks in Belize City I had hoped that I would still be able to find the memorial sites. However the bush has grown so much that this was just not going to happen.
I was able to tour the camp and to take some photographs which I have posted to my Flickr page here – https://www.flickr.com/photos/hickat...57658654199734
Although some of the camp is in serious disrepair many of the building have been converted to classrooms and offices.
I have tried to identify the use of each building but would welcome corrections.
