[3] The camp was described in The Barnstable Patriot in 1921 as having water piped in to company streets, electric lights, a telephone system, a wireless system, and equipment to listen into messages from the Eiffel Tower and Tufts College band concerts.
The listening equipment could also pick up storm warnings along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
[4] It was also described as having 400 horses, which watered in the nearby lake, something which was a daily source of enjoyment for the infantry men.
The camp also fired at a range on the nearby Sandy Neck, a barrier beach on the north side of Barnstable.
