One of the largest American camps in Great Britain. A typical camp street, showing the type of construction which is being used for the administration building. This is one of the Red Cross bath houses. The economy in the use of wood in these camps is always noted by the newly arrived American troops. Wood is scarce and dear in England in these days, and is never wasted on sidewalks or even on the little footpaths across the gutters. The roofs are of sheet iron and the floors and thresholds are concrete
