Warcop Camp

A request from John Woods who is one of the Range Officers at Warcop Army Camp which was used for training by soldiers based in the Barnard Castle camps during WW2.

I would be very interested to hear any memories of Warcop Army Camp, which is still in operation, especially if copies of photos could be supplied.

I have been one of the Range Officers at Warcop for the last 12 years and I am always trying to get information and history not only for myself but so that it can be used in our conference room for visitors to view. I think it’s very important to know why Warcop as a military training facility is in existence and how troops from many different cap badges have benefited from training here, from WW2 to Afghanistan.

Regards
