Please Does Anyone Remember Hayhill Army Camp?

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

The original site was called Cipenham Court Farm, and was acquired by the War Office in 1918. Accomodation for 200 Royal Engineers and 2,500 prisoners of war was completed by the time of the Armistice, although that for 1,000 workers was not. I suspect that the Camp was the original Royal Engineers Camp, and was possibly empty until war broke out.
