Description

Camp Barkeley is being constructed in Abilene, Texas to train the 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army. Building crews are working quickly to make the camp ready for the March opening. The cantonment project's speedy paving crew are shown pouring slabs on the last stretch of the eight mile concrete highway. The paving is being laid in the base camp, nine miles from Abilene. Cars, trucks, and work vehicles are parked along the side of the new road.
