The ones near the Bustard are also pretty hard to see. Further, they're on the training area and so there is no public access to them. Report on excavations at Bedlam (Perham Down).

johndavidswarbrick Posted 23 May , 2018 Share Posted 23 May , 2018 Dear Martin, I am currently researching about the people of Tonbridge and the Great War and have found several references to the Volunteer Corps [3rd Battalion Kent Volunteer] undertaking trench digging duties in the summer of 1916 - I presume that they were working on part of the London defences mentioned in your research. The newspaper reports I have found don't give any great detail, but I wondered if you could confirm my presumption.

Gunner Bailey Posted 6 July , 2018 Share Posted 6 July , 2018 (edited) Has anyone mentioned the training trenches at Barham SE of Canterbury? They were a short horse ride (the ride, not the horse) from Kitchener's Mansion, so I expect he inspected the troops there regularly. There was a thread on this many years ago.

Moonraker Posted 22 September , 2018 Share Posted 22 September , 2018 Maps etc of Perham Down, including Bedlam trenches; also trenches on Beacon Hill above Sling and Bulford; and near Bustard. Possibly further delving on the Web may lead to images that are more user-friendly. Moonraker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
