The camp was held at Seatown, Near Bridport, Dorset in August 1939 just a few weeks before the outbreak of World War II. No annual camps were held during World War II.
Roger Dennis added (Oct 2009): "... Roy Dennis came back from R.A.F. service in the War and married Mary Pritchard, on Boxing Day, 1946 at St. Mary's Church, Lydney. They celebrated their Diamond wedding on 25 Dec 2006, but Mary passed away in March 2007".
