King's Own Royal Regiment Museum

First World War

Images of Ripon Camp, North Yorkshire

Album of photographs of Ripon Camp, First World War.
Containing around 88 photographs of the Camp at Ripon, appearing to include the permanent staff, huts, gardens etc. An image can be dated to Jul 1917. The album is dedicated: “To Wilfred Chaplin, a little memento of our joint efforts at Ripon Camp in 1917/18 with every good wish from O W J.”
Whilst there is no direct relation to the King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regiment this album includes some really good images of a training camp. The Ripon camp was later used for repatriated prisoners of war, and it is known that some King's Own prisoners were processed through the camp in 1918 and 1919.
