Camp Roosevelt 1945 - Do you remember?

[armored infantry]

Marion, while you're looking for Roosevelt Camp if you happen across a

Washington Camp would you let me know? Also My dad went in with the 359th Engineers, but on his papers it said Movement RE 7410 160th C Company, he was shipping out to the South Pacific from La Harve. The war ended and instead they went home. I have some of the Japanese money and French money they were given. Very colorful

AlaskanGal,

 

Camp Washington was near Sissonne, France. The USAMHI collection has a photograph of Quartermaster Truck Companies taken at Camp Washington in 1945.

 

Given the camp's location, I suspect it was an assembly area for units that were waiting their turn to ship out.

 

Undoubtedly there is more information about Camp Washington at NARA, although it is probably buried in the masses of COMZ materials that to date have been largely unexplored.
