Winchester Morn Hill opened in the autumn of 1914 and by December there were 50,000 troops under canvas in the snow.
Their numbers dwarfed the population of Winchester, which was just 22,000 at the time.
By end of the war, four years later, Morn Hill had been temporary home to more than two million men, including some 750,000 Americans.!!
