Camp Greene soldiers relax probably at the soldier's rifle range near the Catawba River. Note children in the back left of photo and the barefooted soldier in the front. Children were not allowed on the base without a pass. This fact, plus the background scenery, help identify the photo as an event that took place off the premises of Camp Greene.
The caption for this photo of the new nurses' dining hall is ' all the home comforts surround those who Hooverize here.'

Cameron, in charge of the post canteen, which is in the same building. Lt. Col. Renn said " A part of the fine spirit of the U. S. Army base hospital in Camp Greene is due to the presence of the library here.
