I guess there are a lot of Yankees that would like to forget Camp Shelby. Shelby, in large has trainded more Army personell than any other base. These days its pretty much pine trees.

I spent a decade in North Kingston RI, one year.

They'd better not forget it if they know what's good for them! Many of them met their wives there and brought them back North with them after the war! The girls from Hattiesburg and surrounding towns would come out for dances with the soldiers; that's where my Aunt Gertrude met my Uncle Frank who was from RI. They married while he was there, and she moved back to RI with him after the war.
