Water Gap Gets Camp For Wounded Soldiers
The United States government has completed preparations to establish a convalescent camp at Delaware Water Gap. Hotels along the main street, including Hillcrest, were rented for the war period and six months after. Plans aim to house convalescents from the Delaware and Lehigh valleys, with 1000 beds available in winter and double that in summer, supported by about 150 nurses and cooks. Christmas mail to American troops in France began arriving, with one town receiving a thousand sacks.
