Last year I was lucky enough to be given a collection of photographs taken during the camp's construction.

Most were taken in Late 1940, but a couple in 1942 and 1943.

These were saved from going into the trash.

Hello all,

I've just added some new photos to the site, and both are Engineer Regiments.

The first, from eBay, is of a unidentified solider with the 338th, possibly H&S company with the band. The photos were taken at Camp Claiborne between December 1942 and January 1943.

Second is two galleries from my grandads unit, the 393rd Special Services Engineer regiment. Some were taken in LaHavre and Paris and a couple might have been taken at Claiborne.

I have more of his to post, but I'm giving my brain the rest of the night off.
