Officers Given Physical Test at Camp Dodge 1918
At Camp Dodge Iowa in May 1918 a medical board tests officers for duty in France. Col. C. S. Lincoln Col. H. J. Price and other leaders are among nearly forty officers assessed. Results go to Washington for review as thousands more arrive and camp capacity may reach 62,000. Officers training draws volunteers from many states with diverse occupations and family ties. Conservation orders curb waste and ensure full use of clothing and equipment. Interpreters exams planned and Frontier Days films shown at camp. Fly control measures are being organized across cantonment facilities.
