Golf Court, Elie

This fine building was formerly the Golf Hotel.
 During the 2nd World War a contingent of several hundred Polish men forming part of the the Polish Liberation Army was stationed in Elie. The Golf Hotel was taken over by the military and was the main billet. Additional temporary wooden accommodation was built on the golf course behind the hotel. The golf course was used as a landing strip for military aircraft during training exercises and also for practising parachute jumping (from a specially constructed wooden platform).
