Redcar High Street in 1908; the old Red Lion hotel would be somewhere on the left of this image. Bill Danby advised: ”The Annual Camps of the Territorial Forces were held all over the country and Redcar was a regular venue for the camps along with other usually seaside places. The hard training camps were seen as a holiday by lads who spent the rest of the year down pits and in factories. The local 4th Yorkshire Battalion, Territorial Force were else where in this year but did have their camp at Redcar in 1913.
