Marion: Could not post pics on where you posted this topic. So started another topic.
Ah yes, the "cigarette camps". Most of us in the ETO finally ended up in one of them.
All that time and then the waiting to go home. When my turn came to return, I was
transported to Camp Philip Morris at Le Harve Fr. Nothing fancy, but who cared as we would be leaving within a few days to a week. I and most others didnt know anyone as we came from many different outfits. All strangers with one thing in mind. Within 4 days our group of about 700 boarded the La Crosse victory ship in early spring for a 10
or so day cruise to NY . A very strange thing happened on boarding. Saw one of my old
high school friends who I palled around with prior to the war. We kept in contact after
the ETO war was over. He was in a different Infantry division from me, but we had a
planned meeting once about 3 months after V.E. day and had a 3 day get together in
Fulda Germany. Neither of us when we were returning home exactly. Am posting a couple of pics of Camp Philip Morriis.
