    A few more. The original ww1 negatives are 100 years old 1917 to 2017 and still come out good after a bit of work on them.

    I think they were wives as kids were there as well, might have been an open day at the camp.

    Trying to find out where the camp is in Kent. Dover area ?

    In some of the photos you can see houses in the background, and on one of the house has Leneys and below on the next sign the word Garage ?.

    On some photos you can see this building on the top of the hill/ridge OP post?

    Don't know if it helps but Leneys were a brewery in Dover.
