Fort Matilda Camp, Greenock
« on: Friday 12 January 07 22:19 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone able to verify that there was such a place as Fort Matilda Camp at Greenock and that the Scottish Rifles were there in 1915.   I would appreciate any help with this query.                grossan

Hi Grossan

There are a number of references to it if you google it. For example, try these sites:

www.army.mod.uk/rhf/regimental_history/yrs_1914_1939.htm

www.palmerstonforts.org.uk/data.htm

Regards.
