Description:A group of eight soldiers posing informally on Milford Chase, observed by two small boys. In the background can be seen the Satnall Hills.

During the First World War two military camps were built on Cannock Chase - Brocton Camp, which was located near to Anson's Bank, and Rugeley Camp, which extended along Penkridge Bank. The two camps were separated by the Sherbrook Valley.

For many soldiers the camps were their last billet before they went to fight in France.
