The Beeston Boys' Brigade (17th Nottingham) has held annual camps, starting in the years leading up to the Great War (World War 1).

The first was held in 1910, the year after the Beeston brigade had been reformed under Stephen Hetley Pearson.

The top photograph is of the 1912 camp, held at Skegness, as probably are the above two showing smaller groups.

As the top photograph shows, over 80 (including both officers and boys) were in camp.

Thanks to Ed Grummitt for providing the above photographs



The photograph on the left is undated but is believed to be from the same camp.
Albert Henry Hallam (1898-1965), the father of the owner of this site is at the bottom of the photograph
