Description:Rugeley's Drill Hall was opened by Major-General C.C. Van Staubanzee, in 1926. Located in Anson Street, near the Police Station, on the site of the previous Territorial's hut, it still stands today (in 2021) repurposed as Rugeley's Victory Church. At the time of opening it was said to be one of the finest drill halls in the county.

Note the young girl in the front left and the soldiers holding competition cups. Rugeley's Territorials were members of the 6th North Staffordshire (TA) Regiment.
