Acknown Posted 3 November , 2021 Share Posted 3 November , 2021 Has anyone heard of Whitwell Camp? The address I have is 'via Mansfield, Derbyshire'. It may be either a fixed barracks or, more likely, a place for field exercises. My subject served in an ASC company there in 1917. Many thanks, Acknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi Posted 3 November , 2021 Share Posted 3 November , 2021 Despite a couple of hours trawling the world wide web for anything of a military slant with regards to Whitwell in Derbyshire, the only thing I found which might be of interest is the existence of the Whitwell Local Historical Group.

davidbohl Posted 4 November , 2021 Share Posted 4 November , 2021 This clip from 1910 is local news from the Whitwell, Eckington and Cresswell areas and references "Barracks". If you can find Marsh Farm you can walk to it. May be a long shot Dave From the BNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acknown Posted 4 November , 2021 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2021 Many thanks chaps, I'm most grateful for all your assistance. I can't find Marsh Farm (including on a Victorian historical map) and Whilst Clipstone Camp is possible, I have no more evidence. However, I've emailed the Historical Group and maybe its members can come up with something. Acknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
