Hi Sirrom there is some info reguarding the RNDH on the parent site. The 1st line of the RNDH formed part of the 16th Devons in Jan 1917 (look at parent site under Yeomanry) hope this helps, as to Tregantle Camp I can't find any info of them being there, but that doesn't mean that they were not,cheers Jon

As Tregantle Fort - which is still in Army use - is one of the Palmerston Follies it may be worth your while posing your question on the Palmerston Forts Society forum here:
