Post Re: Camp Name

Hilary/David;

There was definitely a camp in Slough (aside from the R.C.O.C. Depot)(as per David's illustration of earlier), the R.C.E. history refers to work being done on it, off and on during the War years, starting in 1940 (upkeep/repairs/additions), but it only refers to it has the "camp at Slough", this work being carried out by various detachments of the Construction Companies, R.C.E. (later Artizan Works Companies, R.C.E.).

Also, the R.C.E. history does refer to a camp at 'Hayhill', but now I know that 'Hayhill' camp is the one that David referred to in one of his posts that were lost on 30 June.

So the camp's name was HAYMILL. It would only stand to reason that the Canadian Army would take over a former British Army camp, given the shortage of accommodation and infrastructure that existed with the coming and build up of the Canadian Army to the United Kingdom, in late 1939 - early 1940.

Cheers
