Camp Picton, ON - CMP - about 1946?
The photos aren't labelled, but I think these were taken of Camp Picton around June 1946 when it was home base for anti-aircraft batteries and an artillery school. I believe the camp was previously used for the Commonwealth Air Training Program during WW2 and that, after the artillery moved, it became home to a battalion of the Canadian Guards.

I'll check if there are others in my dad's old photos, but I think this is the only such photo I have. I am aware there is a book on the history of Camp Picton, "Camp Picton - Wartime to Peacetime" by Ian S. Robertson ISBN 978-0-9683-10906090 by local (to Picton) publishers, but I have no knowledge of other photos it includes. I think the book focuses more on the camp's time as a air base. Jon
