We have been given a reference to a drill hall on Wish Road, Hove, in 1908/10. (Thank you to Sue Light).

There is not a drill hall shown on Marmion road on the 1912 OS map.

We have noted an online reference to attendance at 'Headquarters at Marmeda(?) Road, Hove' in 1914, but have not been able to find any corroborating information. It is assumed that this is a mis- spelling of Marmion road.

Thank you to Sue Light for the photographs.
