Tents and cots in Fort Devons, Massachusetts in August 1943
Gift of Melissa Bourne, from the Collection of the National WWII Museum
Description:
Tents and cots at Tent City, Fort Devens, Massachusetts. Tent city for most of us was a nightmare. The dust messed up the equipment and the frequency of the inspections to make sure we all had everything we could carry. We had no live ammo by rifles or carbines but two barricks [sic] bags.[July/August 1943]
