Camp Cameron

Camp Cameron was the US Forces army base for black service personnel in the UK in WWII. They were placed here, in Out-Of-The-Way Cornwall so as not to frighten the poor timid natives. Joe Louis was based here and wrote that he was bored out of his mind!
Now, no trace remains of the camp which was situated above St Agnes Head.

I am sure it is a much prettier place now than it was during the war. It's a wonderful display of flowers.

Beautiful flowery landscape. Poor guys. It probably was boring if they were stuck in a military camp.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Jean

I'm sure it was, Jean. Even if they were allowed out to enjoy the night life in Redruth or Truro, it would have been equally boring in the early 1940s!
