Camp Gordon - World War I - DeKalb County







 Camp Gordon was established in July 1917 as a WWI training camp. It was home to the 82nd Division which became knows as the 82nd Airborne Division in WWII.  Among those who trained at Fort Gordon are future Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Alvin York and my grandfather, Harold C. Hutchens. That's my grandfather seated in the middle!

The camp was officially abandoned in September 1921.
