Summary
Pathe synopsis: An army holiday camp may sound like a contradiction in terms, but at Weybourne, in Norfolk, it very nearly comes true. For the first time men of the 323rd West Riding Light AA Regiment of the Territorial Army are allowed to take their wives and families to the annual two-week course. The families, billeted in a nearby caravan site, are permitted into camp on visiting day to see exactly what the ‘old man’ does.
