Steve,

The 94th Reunion is scheduled for May 29,30, and 31 in Nashville 2009.  The division's web site is http://94thinfdiv.com/  I had the webmaster post your sites link on their page.

I only have one letter from my grandfather on Camp Forrest letterhead and there isn't much army type stuff in there.  I have several letters on letterhead reading Tennessee Maneuvers "Somewhere in Tennessee". It looks like he was there from Aug 1943 to Nov 1943 before going to Camp McCain, MS.

Brian,

Posted you email on the Camp Forrest web site… send me more information on the reunion and anything else you can. www.campforrest.com

Steve,

My grandfather was there sometime in late 1943 with the 94th Infantry Div.  I will have to dig up my grandfathers letters home.  I know he talks about Camp Forrest and camping in tents on the Cumberland River.  I may have some letterhead from the Camp.  I am posting your web site link on a discussion group page for the 94th Alliance.  The 94th Div will be holding its 2009 reunion in Nashville.  I would like to see us take a trip to Arnold if they do that sort of thing.
