This was an interesting social experiment in aid of the youth of England at King George's Jubilee Holiday Camp at Hawthorn Tower. The Trust acquired the lease of Hawthorn Tower, a large country house standing in 47 acres of its own grounds with a private bathing beach. Accommodation was provided in bell tents for 350 boys and was opened on June 20th and expected to receive 3,000 boys in weekly relays.
