Purton (Wiltshire) Remount Depot PDF

[bts1970]

Good morning all

In an attempt to give back a small amount to the forum that has helped me out so much since 2007 I have another PDF file available that may be of interest to someone

Purton Remount Depot (14 pages A4)

Not much I know but if it helps one person then I will have achieved my aim. Researching the Remount Depots was a near on impossible task until I was helped by a relative of William Robson who ran the Depot in Purton with his boys. Purton was a civilian run Breaking Depot that provided specialist re-training for horses within the Southern area Command.

Contact me with your e-mail details & can send on.

Best regards to all

Dear Bob,

Would you be kind enough to pass on the PDF file about Purton Remount Depot. I had a great uncle who was at Shirehampton for a few months during 1916 and I want to learn as much as I can about the subject.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Roger.
