PRISONERS of war were back in North Yorkshire today as the annual re-enactors weekend got into full swing at Eden Camp.
Up to 50 people were at the museum, outside Malton, as they relived what life was like for the German prisoners and British military guards who once occupied POW Camp 83.
Visitors have the chance to inspect uniforms and equipment close up, and ask the re-enactors - ranging from aged two to 70 - about the characters they are portraying.
The re-enactors are spending the weekend living in the huts that were once occupied by real prisoners more than 50 years ago. They will be drilled and issued with site duties - there may even be some escape attempts.
