Dundurn Camp Recalled as War Ends and Demobilizes Slowly
The Dundurn military camp once a hive of Canadian Army activity during World War II now sits as a near ghost, its wartime training shifted to other bases. By 1944 it hosted Recce Training Centre troops, infantry battalions Nos. 10 and 12, and the 131 Canadian Infantry Training Centre, with Major Harry Bryce in command. The site, winterized and upgraded, faced water shortages early on but added a 132 foot water tower. As peace returns, its role shifts to housing reserve units for summer camps once more, awaiting full life again.
