Description:It is difficult to identify the precise location of this photograph. Brocton Camp would have the letter of the Battalion Line above the door together with the hut number which made it easier to identify its location. As Rugeley Camp Battalion Lines were numbered they did not put the Battalion Line number on the door, only the hut number.

The military railway could be running in the foreground which would mean these huts were more than likely off Penkridge Bank Road. This image shows good examples of the drainage system employed on the Camp, with a ditch around each hut and drainage pipes directing the water off the Camp.
