Yes indeed, a comedian on board. Sure he heard that a few times from the men arriving...

 

Here are some bleak pictures from the book I just obtained. I am using some of these in the documentary too. They give a good feel for the times at Camp Edwards and Camp Gordon Johnson.

 

Improvised Mock-ups
