Hello everyone have been to this site a few times now anyway here's a bit of history on the place.

Information from http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/946280 & Paul Cheall

Bushfield Camp was an army training camp functioning during WWII and also used to train recruits to the Green Jackets Brigade between 1961-64. It was also used to train National Servicemen in the 1950s

To add a bit of history about the camp during WW2, people may be interested to read this extract from my Dad's war memoirs: "The first week in April 1944 found us at a new campsite, Bushfield Camp, two miles outside of Winchester
