Royal Horse Artillery Battery, Nottingham,

[MrsPoppy]

I am looking at the attestation papers of a relative who attested with the Notts Royal Horse Battery in 1908, in his list of postings it says

Hindlow?? Pindlow?? 1910

Mermaide Camp? 1910/12

Despite extensive googling I cannot clarify these names or where they might be.

Any help appreciated

I can see reference in 1910 newspapers to the Northern and Midland Division training at "Hindlow Camp, near Buxton"

Thank heavens, thank you for that. The link is great, that has got to be spot on.

Confession - a neighbour dropped in for a coffee and I asked her to look at the image and she said it is not mermaide camp it is ABERMAIDE camp.....duhhhh

So I am going to check out your link properly and check out Abermaide camp.

Re. "Mermaid", I was about to post if it was possible for you to provide details so that it would be possible to check the attestation record - available on FMP possibly?. There's nothing better than seeing the "real thing".
