Description:Some of the many carpenters employed to build the vast Camps of Brocton and Rugeley. They used a grey insulation board to try and keep the huts warm but with there only being one stove per soldiers hut it was incredibly cold in the winter. This board can still be found across the Chase in places as it tended to shatter when the Camp was decommissioned and the huts dismantled and sold as storerooms, village halls and homes to the local factories and communities. The style of huts was so successful that in the next World War identical ones were built to house the next wave of recruits. Men on National Service would have been familiar with them too up until the end of 1960 when National Service was abolished in Great Britain.
