Typical Construction at "Mudberry"

One of the service clubs under construction

 

This view of one of the Service Clubs under construction is typical of the appearance of Camp Atterbury this summer when construction hit its fastest pace. For a while persistent rains made it appear the camp would not be completed on time. As many as 14,000 workmen were employed here at one time. Early arrivals at camp remember the muddy roads and the rough ground which had to be leveled, their first jobs here in their new quarters. By Spring, when there is a thick coating of grass, this scene will be just a memory.
