Can anyone tell me where the 5th Royal Scots went for their 1914 summer camp, from which they were hurriedly recalled?

Hi Chris,

I have Postcard of it back in England I think. I am going back for a few days at the end of this week so I will scan it in for you.

All the best,

Tim

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the delay. I have the postcard here in Germany now but my scanner is playing up. The name on the front of the postcard says Bellfield Camp. Once my scanner is working again I will post it.

I do not know if that is the right one. It may be the camp to which they were sent after they were mobilised. The post mark reads, I think, 19th December 1917. The photo is definitely pre-/early war though as they are equiped with Long Lees and the webbing is a little bit hotch potch. I will post it as soon as I can and then you can make your own mind up.

All the best,

Tim
