Few details are firm for this plate. Its title, "British women in Army Camp," comes from caption data the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its card, and the record gives no date. The Bain agency, run by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied news and feature photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates often document wartime subjects. Women serving with British forces during the First World War, including in auxiliary corps formed in 1917, is the most likely setting for a scene like this, though the record itself does not confirm it.
