Yol (Camp No. 28) was a British-run prisoner of war facility in Himachal Pradesh, in the foothills of the Kangra Valley, used during the Second World War primarily for Axis prisoners taken in the North African and Italian campaigns. Camp scrip of this type was a controlled-circulation instrument — POWs could earn it through camp labor and spend it at the canteen, preventing access to genuine currency that might fund escape attempts.
The Anna denomination places this squarely within the pre-decimal Indian monetary system, where 16 annas made one Rupee. Scrip denominated in fractions of the Rupee is among the more uncommon surviving material from British India's wartime camp network.
