Palace Internment Camp was one of several civilian internment facilities operated in Britain during the Second World War under Defence Regulation 18B, which authorized the detention of individuals deemed a security risk — primarily German, Austrian, and Italian nationals, along with British fascist sympathizers. The "Palace" in the name almost certainly refers to Alexandra Palace in north London, which was requisitioned as an internment camp in 1940 during the mass roundup that followed Churchill's order to "collar the lot."
Cardboard scrip of this kind was issued because internees were prohibited from holding Bank of England notes. The denominations circulated within the camp economy only — canteen purchases, small trades between detainees. Very few pieces survived the war's end, as most were surrendered or simply discarded upon release.
