The Picture above is the main gate of Brancepeth
Camp, the Guardroom is on the right. Probably taken
in 1955 when the 2nd Btn DLI were been disbanded I
think they marched up from the castle after the parade,
they were in Wuppertal Germany up in till then. -

Thomas Briggs writes: I came across this photograph
in the Evening Chronicle on the 15th July, 1999.
It is of a column of Territorials marching down
Dryden Road in Gateshead on a recruiting drive in
May 1939. I tried to blow it up but I could not
make out the cap badges, it's possible it could
be the D.L.I. Photo courtesy

This is a picture of my dad who served in the DLI
and West Yorkshire Regiments. William F. Robinson,
born Oct 05, 1898. A miner in the Brancepeth Colliery.
Enlisted at age 16 1/2. Emigrated to New York in 1929.
