Thanks for your response, Steve. NO ONE
seems to have even heard of Camp Forrest,
and it is very satisfying to me to see so
many people with that connection. My father
was an infantry officer in WWII; but he had
learned trigonometry in high school. So,
they trained him in artillery. I think he
might have been in Camp Forrest for that
artillery training - not sure. He went to
Europe and was in the Battle of the Bulge.
Came home with the Bronze Star with V
device. I am going to try to get all of his
military records soon. At the time he was
at Camp Forrest, he and my mother lived in
Manchester, I think. He was 2d Lieutenant,
Robert K. Rogers, in case anyone might have
known him down there.
Regards, Bob Rogers

I was born at Camp Forrest, and haven't seen
it since I was about 3 weeks old. I will be
going through that area on my way to
Washington, DC in the first week of July,
and I plan to stop at the location where
Camp Forrest used to be - just to see "where
I was born".
Regards,
Bob Rogers |
