Peter Beard found and bought this postcard off the internet recently as it shows what appears to be the soldiers billetted in classic bell tents at the Rainham end of the ranges. The post mark is dated 12th May 1917 and somehow ended up in Macon, Georgia USA!
Peter has done some eagle eyed scanning of the image and has placed it alongside the river, looking across to Erith with what appears to be The Three Crowns pub towards the right hand side and the wall of the Shooting Butts to the left.
If anyone comes across any old images of the site (and that includes up to the 1960's and 1970's) please bring them in for me!
