SOWDM_P1158 The Duke of York Camp 1932

The Duke of York camps were held on Southwold Common over the August Bank Holiday week from 1931 until 1938 when he inherited the crown and became King George VI.

These annual camps ran from 1921 until 1939 and had been held at New Romney and Southport (Lancs) before coming to Southwold. The final camp was near Balmoral in 1939. About half the boys came from Public Schools whilst the other half were those from the industrial towns. The key movers were the Industrial Welfare Society whose organiser was a Church of England clergyman, the Revd. R.H. Hyde (later Sir Robert). Among the boys in 1932 was Dennis Thatcher who later became a member of “staff” for 3 years. Captain J.G. Paterson was the Camp Commandant.
