Title: Hazeley Road, Twyford [Go to resource]
Description: The Army camp was built to house regiments on their way to the front. In all there were 408 huts housing up to 6,000 troops and stabling for 1718 horses. The population of the camp outnumbered the population of the village. After the war the camp was dismantled and a stone cross now marks the site although one or two decaying huts remain dotted around farmland. Postcard. References: 1. Hampshire County Council.
