Cookhouse of the American Camp at Burton Bradstock
Betty ‘Freckles’ Mackay and Chris Kerley stand outside the cookhouse of the American camp at Burton Bradstock, Dorset and drink the cocoa they have just been given by Corp David Roberts (of RR4 Albia, Iowa), who is leaning out of the window to chat to them. According to the original caption, these two children are big favorites in the camp and call at the cookhouse regularly after school. Betty’s nickname was given to her by the GIs.
