Unlike World War One, World War Two seems to be “cloaked in a veil of secrecy.” There are few images depicting the camp and information is sparse. It became a training camp at the outbreak of the War and regiments included the Cameronians, Royal Scots Fusiliers, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, Royal Artillery, Pioneer Corps, Royal Norfolk Regiment, Suffolk Regiment, Yorks & Lancs, and others. Searchlight training and D-day training both took place at the camp and it is possible that tank training also took place near Shankend a little to the east of the camp. A few new buildings were also constructed on site including many Nissen huts.
