i was never at this camp. However, I beleive that it was taken over by the Junior Leaders Regiment in the 1960s.

Denbury Camp
Hallo Bob. Thanks. I have now been told that, as you say, it was used as a junior leaders course set up. Now it is a prison, I have contact with someone who lives "nearish". Regards. Syd.
