Witley Camp

 ( Military History Of Canada During World War Ii ) 

Witley Military Camp, often simplified to Camp Witley, was a temporary army camp set up on Witley Common, Surrey, England during both the First and Second World Wars. The camp was about southwest of London.

The camp was the scene of riots after the Armistice but before troops were demobilized and returned to Canada.

Camp Witley was one of three facilities in the Aldershot Command area established by the Canadian Army; the others being Bordon Camp and Bramshott Camp (near Liphook).

Wilfred Owen penned a prelude to his "Anthem for Doomed Youth" whilst stationed at the camp.

Witley Camp was the headquarters of the Polish Resettlement Corps.
