STOBS MILITARY CAMP HAWICK 1903 - 1959
For nearly 60 years, hundred of thousands of young men used the facilities at Stobs Camp in the Scottish Borders to train for war.

Only in fading photographs can the casual onlooker hope to glimpse some of the spirit of the camp and those who passed through it.

	"Too true - it is a rotten hole A dreary, cheerless place. And to Bonnie, Bonnie Scotland, A damnable disgrace. But if I swore from morn till night, The half I'd never tell, And so I think I'll save my breath And simply call it Hell .............That's STOBS" Joseph Bramwell Bush of the R.A.M.C.
