Bramshott Camp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bramshott Military Camp, often simplified to Camp Bramshott, was a temporary army camp set up on Bramshott Common, Surrey, England during both the First and Second World Wars.

Camp Bramshott was one of three three facilities in the Aldershot Command area established by the Canadian Army; the others being Bordon and Witley.

During the Second World War, there were actually four Canadian camps in the immediate vicinity of Camp Bramshott, each one given the name of one of the Great Lakes:

• Huron and Ontario Camps were located on Bramshott Common near the Portsmouth Road
• Superior Camp was located at the Grayshott end of Ludshott Common
• Erie Camp was located at Headley Down, in the area now occupied by Heatherlands estate.
