Palace Internment Camp was one of several facilities established in Britain during the Second World War to hold civilian enemy aliens — predominantly German and Austrian nationals, many of them Jewish refugees who had fled Nazi persecution only to find themselves interned by their host country. The note circulated internally as camp scrip, a common measure used to prevent internees from accumulating sterling that could theoretically aid escape or be passed outside the wire.
The specific camp name suggests Alexandra Palace in North London, which was pressed into use as an internment facility in 1940 during the panic following the fall of France.
