Bristol Soldier Tracks Trip to Camp Gordon in Georgia
A Bristol boy in Headquarters Company 327th Infantry writes from Camp Gordon Georgia about his train journey from Camp Devens to Atlanta. He notes cool nights and hot days like June up north, glimpses of Maryland Virginia and North Carolina, cotton fields, red clay soil, and busy camp life with drills and canteens. He mentions meeting Mrs Vanderbilt at a Red Cross station and hopes to visit Atlanta on a pass.
