New Brunswick’s Internment Camp B70 in Ripples, near Minto, held hundreds of men captive during the Second World War. The water tower on the right still partially stands today. (Provincial Archives of New Brunswick P61318)
If you drive east from Fredericton along Route 10 this time of year, you’re treated to some wonderful fall colours, but there’s little else to command your attention.
Eventually, however, you get to Ripples, just southwest of the Minto area of Grand Lake, where you’ll drive by a strange concrete structure and a couple of signs.
One sign reads, “Internment Camp B70.”
The structure was once a water tower and part of a 24-hectare camp that held hundreds of European refugees and prisoners of war captive during the Second World War.
