Description:Officers' Huts line the left-hand side of the road between Battalion lines 'R' and 'S'. In the distance the road begins to bend slightly to the right at its junction with what is now Chase Road to the left. During the war Old Camp Road would have needed to have been upgraded to take the heavy traffic Before then it had been an route for many centuries, vital for communication between towns and villages, crossing the Chase north to south. On the right hand side of the round can be seen an off-shoot of the military railway used to deliver supplies. It would terminate further down the road as it reached 'T' Lines, just before the descent down the hill to the present day A34 Cannock to Stafford Road.
In order to differentiate between the two Camps (Brocton Camp and Rugeley Camp) on Cannock Chase and no doubt make it easier for mail distribution from family and or friends, Brocton’s 20 Battalion Lines were named alphabetically from A to T, whilst Rugeley Camp's Lines were numbered 1 to 20. With approximately 20,000 men in each Camp it would have made it much easier to locate each soldier as the address would have been Battalion Line and individual Hut number.
This postcard was franked in Stafford on 9 June 1916 and sent to an address in Church Stretton.
