Witley Military Camp, often simplified to Camp Witley, was a temporary army camp set up on Witley Common, Surrey, England during both the First and Second World Wars. The camp was about 40 mi (64 km) southwest of London.[1]

Camp Witley was one of three facilities in the Aldershot Command area established by the Canadian Army; the others being Bordon and Bramshott (nr. Liphook).

Wilfred Owen penned a prelude to his ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ whilst stationed at the camp.[2]

Witley Camp was the headquarters of the Polish Resettlement Corps.[3]
