| D/DLI 2/18/24(137) Miniature rifle range and drying hut at Cocken Hall training camp |
On 26 June Durham County Record Office went on a visit to the
No Mans’ Land excavation at the site of Cocken Hall, the first training camp of
the 18th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry. We supplied photographic evidence and other
research materials to support the Heritage Lottery Funded dig.
There were about 30 participants on site each day (even the
Durham at War team got their hands dirty) and a daily blog was produced which
can be found here:
A report will be produced and No Mans’ Land are co-hosting
the Council for British Archaeology’s Home Front Legacy (North) Day School where they will be holding a seminar on the excavation. This takes place on 15 August 2015 at Palace
Green Library, Durham. Durham at War will also be attending on the day. The event is free but booking is required, for more information and to
