Historical information

Hurdcott Camp was a World War 1 Military Hospital which was set up in the Fovant Area, south-west Wiltshire, England. Hurdcott Camp was established in 1915 for various Regiments, some Rifle brigades from London, and several from the north of England such as the East Lancashire (The Accrington Pals), 1st Hull and several from Yorkshire. There was a small hospital for them but in August 1916, when the Australian forces took over the camp the hospital was enlarged.
