Australian soldiers
The lists of some 500 names that you will find on this website represent the smallest drop of the huge river of men who must have passed through the Fovant Camps in the years of the Great War. The camps could hold 20,000 soldiers at any one time and there was continual coming and going. Some stayed months, others a few days only.
If you know that your relation was definitely in any of the Fovant Camps (including Sutton Mandeville and Hurdcott) please let us know the details and we will add his name to the list.

Concert parties
We were lucky to be given three printed programmes for concerts held in the Camps. The men had many entertainments provided by professionals of varying degrees of talent but they also enjoyed providing their own. Indeed, they delighted in forming Concert Parties of their own which travelled to other camps and once to a theatre in Salisbury.
