No Truth in the Rumour



Ampthill Camp [Z1306/1/34/2]

Friday 16th July: His Grace the Duke of Bedford has requested that it should be made known that there is no truth whatever in the rumour that recruiting has been suspended for the Ampthill Camp. The Duke says men are required for the Line Battalions at the Front and he hopes men will continue to come forward to take the place of those who have already left for service. A finely equipped open-air gymnasium has been added to the Camp on the extreme left of the Park, near the bayonet drilling apparatus.
