~ No. 1 COMBINED TRAINING CENTRE, INVERARAY ~

The great contribution of the No 1 Combined Training Centre to the war effort is a matter of public record. Its key role was to train service personnel in the latest techniques of small landing craft amphibious warfare. Around 250,000 personnel passed through the portals of the training centre from 1940 to 1944. At any one time up to 15,000 service personnel were billeted in the area - the impact on the small community of 500 can only be imagined!

HMS Quebec was a part of the No 1 Combined Training Centre - see photo opposite of the original HMS Quebec badge. The name was most likely selected because of Captain Wolfe's Combined Operation to capture the Abraham Heights at Quebec.
