The location of the 1905 annual camp was Ovingdean near Brighton in East Sussex. Attendance had grown again with 19 Officers and 331 Other Ranks in camp.

The location of the 1906 annual camp of the King’s Colonials was Stowe Park in Buckinghamshire. The Regiment was really coming of age now in its development and discipline and this camp was the most well attended to date with 22 Officers and 353 Other Ranks swelled by the addition of two Troops from the Liverpool detachment.

Much of the time spent at camp was of course devoted to the care of the horses. In many of the anecdotes I have from former members of the King's Colonials and King Edward's Horse and their forebears was the love they had for their horses.
