SQUATTERS IN CAMPS
MOVE TO ROYAL LAND FORESTALLED
LONDON, August 20. Squatters who arrived to occupy disused Army huts in Windsor Great Park, on part of the Royal Estate, found themselves forestalled. The King had given permission to the Windsor Corporation to take over the huts for billeting several hundred workmen who are building 300 houses. Sentries with fixed bayonets prevented other squatters from taking possession of huts at Dover Cliffs, which, they were told, were wanted for the Army, though the soldiers who formerly occupied them moved recently to Dover Castle. More German prisoners of war have moved to the Burnham Beeches camp, which squatters are already sharing with 40 prisoners who have begun dismantling the huts for removal to their tent camp in a neighbouring district. Twelve families now occupy an antiaircraft battery’s huts at Primrose Hill, in the Royal Park near Regent’s Park, in central London.
