A "Company Street" At Camp Greenleaf, Fort
Oglethoroe, Georgia. At this camp, the medical officers
and enlisted men who formed the nucleus of the 308th
Infantry Medical detachment (and many other such units)
were trained in the summer of 1917. The tent at the
extreme left was used as an office. Other tents in the
row held six cots each. Directly opposite was the mess
tent.
Tent - Mates at
Camp Greenleaf. The Georgia sun made extra clothing a
burden, and in leisure hours outer shirts were often
discarded.
