Camp Life on Pass Sparks Bridgeport Farewell Parade
The Bridgeport veterans recount a playful pass era as Camp Terry soldiers roam New London and Bridgeport for two days of freedom. They greet friends on Main Street, stock up on gear, enjoy meals at chop suey houses, and swap tales of home comforts and romances, while captains curb excesses and officers arrange brief exits.
