EXCELLENT SITE!!
My father M/Sgt. Charles J. Adams was a
part of the initial cadre when Camp Forrest was activated in Feb.
1941, he served as the Camp Sergeant Major for the duration of WWII.
He served with the Hq. Det, Section I, Service Command Unit 1457. I
believe this was a part of the Fourth Service Command. I have
several interesting photos of the post, my father, General Ben
Lear and the NCO club. Does anyone remember M/Sgt. Adams. If so I
would like to correspond with you.
Also, my mother Mrs. Geneva Adams served
as a civilian clerk to the Camp's Adjutant.
My father passed away in 1987, but my
mother is still alive and tells very fascinating stories about the
post.
