Description:Vincent Holt of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry at the piano, in one of the huts at Rugeley Camp on Cannock Chase. He was the son of James Holt(lockmaker)and Fanny Holt(nee Foster) of Willenhall, Staffordshire.

During the First World War two military training camps were built on the Chase - Brocton Camp, which was located near to Anson's Bank, and Rugeley Camp which extended along Penkridge Bank. The two camps were separated by the Sherbrook Valley. Nothing of Rugeley Camp remains, although some of the original roadways still exist.
