Kitchener’s Fields
“There were the old playing-fields near the railway station beyond Berkhamsted Castle, and when war came they were taken over by
what is called Kitchener’s Army and to this day are known as Kitchener’s Fields.
(My rich uncle came to the rescue of the school and lent the governors enough money to buy far
better fields at the top of the hill.)”
Graham Greene A Sort of Life (1971) pp.47-48
