The reverse of the post card shows that it was posted from the Gailes Camp Irvine, on the 19th May 1916.
From the internet. Gailes Camp was in existence by March 1916, occupied by infantry of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. In that month the Army reorganised its officer training and the 9th and 10th Officer Training Battalions were based there. Training lasted for four and a half months and each battalion trained 400 officers (600 after 1917) at a time. A Gailes Camp hospital is recorded as having been in existence during the First World War. |
