Formation of the Volunteer Rifle Corps in 1860

Poem on the Volunteer Rifle Corps Meeting at Berkhamsted

 In January 1860 there were  meetings at Ashridge, Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Tring to form a combined Rifle Corps. For details (and the full poem) click on the poem.

I have posted post cards (and some other photographs) of camps for volunteers and the Territorial Force  (later Territorial Army) troops under the headings:

At Ashridge in 1905

Various locations 1906-1913

At Lydd in 1909

Photo Album 1913-14

The Territorial Force Camp at Ashridge in 1914
The camp broke up prematurely due to the outbreak of the First World War

As part of a long term program to restructure the large number of military related pages I have started a "home page" for military pages relating to pre-1914 information - with links to battles and castles.

Can you supply details (preferably with pictures) of other camps your ancestor attended - as there would have been a summer camp every year?
