Description:It is interesting to see that the postcard infers that the Officers had their own YMCA Hut and that like Rugeley Camp the religious organisation sponsored Huts for the well-being of the troops were numbered. Some of the Officers would have been there just for the period of their regiment's training, whilst others would have been stationed there for longer periods as permanent Instructors.

There are home comforts in the room, proper furniture to relax in and even carpet along the walkways between the
billiard tables. The exact location of this hut is unknown but the the 1916 Camp plan shows their location but not their denomination.
