Description:This gentleman and his dog appear in quite a few of the postcards from the period and he must have been a friend or assistant to the photographer. Having a person in front of the panoramic view helps to give it some perspective and shows the scale of the Camp.
Before the tracks were upgraded across the Chase it was reported to be very uncomfortable to cross and the locals were pleased with the better roads provided after the War. This is the south-western fringe of the Camp and is well developed. There are carriages on the military railway, possibly parked up in the sidings in the centre of the image. There would have been soldiers placed on the periphery of the Camp restricting access for security or safety reasons so the phortographer may have had permission to record the Camp for posterity. It would have been impossible to prevent access and local children used to enjoy evading the patrols to go bilberry picking, or just for the fun of it.
