Name lists of US PoWs who died in Dartmoor Prison. Saddest of all is, after the USA win the war of independence, most of these men remained locked up, while Britain and the newly-formed USA argued over who'd pay to repatriate them. As a result, they rioted, and many were gunned down.

Memorial for the US men buried behind the Dartmoor Prison. It says they're not forgotten, but the cemetery is not in great shape.

A large granite slab, carrying the names, dates of death, and places they came from (where known).
