Date:November - December 1917 (c.)

Description:The New Zealanders are playing happily in the snow of 1917 which must have arrived not long after they came to Brocton Camp in the September of that year. Named the ‘Cannock Chase Reserve Centre’ the camp was commanded by Major-General Davies.

The "X" above the head of one of the men and the one below is probably the sender of the card or someone who knows them. The were initially in "H" Lines but as more and more arrived they would take over additional vacant Battalion Lines.
