Description:A wider view of the Camp from the east, looking at Battalion Line numbers 17 to 19 nearest the camera. Interesting to see the conifer trees on the right hand side which proves that there had been some planting on the Chase prior to the formation of the Forestry Commission in the later stages of the War. The Forestry Commission was set up to try to meet the wartime demand for timber.
