A few weeks ago, I drove onto the UWI Mona campus via the Post Office gate. (UWI Mona = University of the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica). The poui trees were in bloom and it was a magnificent sight!
Everywhere I looked…
…there were poui blossoms…
…including in front of the Gibraltar Camp monument…
…dedicated to the Gibraltarian Evacuees living at Gibraltar Camp, Jamaica 1940 – 1944… 
…during World War II.
The camp was like a small township…
The monument is sacred to the memory of…
Yellow blossoms and names in gold…

Been a UWI student for 5 years and never knew the history of Gibraltar Way. I guess it’s because I always drive past the monument. Never came out to read it. Thanks for sharing! And yes the poui trees have been lovely. 🙂

Interesting. I never knew anything about the Gibraltar evacuation before, though it makes sense now that I think about it.
