This looks like it was taken at Manobier, it's nr. Tenby in Wales, I have a similar photo which I will post on here. The one I have was taken when I was on a RADAR course, this could be the same, it was a big training camp for the Royal Artillery.
I remember your dad Carol. I came from Spring View.

I do remember this. I am in the middle with the crease in the photo right through my face !!..I was Battery Capt at Wigan Drill Hall at this time, and although I recognise most of the faces, I struggle for names ! Behind me (over my right shoulder) is Sgt Ahton (later WOII) from St Helens.
