Summary[edit]

Circa 1869 photograph, by Arthur Green, of Warwick Camp, in Warwick, in the Imperial fortress colony of Bermuda, with soldiers under canvas on the rifle ranges to the South of the Military Road (South Shore Road). Horseshoe Bay, visible in the background, lies behind the butts of the 800 yard rifle range, and the promontory at its far (western) end is still littered with .577/450, .303" bullets, and 7.62mm NATO fired by the Martini-Henry, the Lee-Enfield, and L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle respectively. Prior to the 1950s, the Camp had no units garrisoned on it, but was occupied on a temporary basis by various units of the local military (army) garrison, the Royal Marines detachment from the Dockyard, and detachments of Marines from ships at the Dockyard, for training and shooting.
