Years Service At Camp Stewart
CAMP STEWART, Ga. Dec. 18
—Brigadier General Clare Hibbs
Armstrong is completing two
years this month as command
ing general at Camp Stewart.
On the occasion of his second
anniversary, General Armstrong
called Southeast Georgia a
“wonderland” and the people of
this area “charming.”
He lauded the “pronounced
cooperative spirit" of Georgians,
and called this section “one of
the loveliest in the United ;
States.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed j
my stay here,” the general said. 1
“It was extraordinary good for- ।
tune that brought me to Camp
Stewart and permitted me to re
main for so long a time at this
delightful station ” he said.
“The problems incident to the
rebuilding and rehabilitation of j
Camp Stewart were so many
and varied that the past two
years have been some of the
most interesting and instruc
tive In my entire service,” the
general said today.
During his period of com
mand, the camp has gone
through three training cycles
and is entering a fourth. Troops
trained on the nation's second
largest military installation in
■ the past two years are now sta-

When General Armstrong
took over, on December 29, 1950,
the Third Anny Triple-A Center
was in the process of activation.
The camp had been closed down
for five years, and was reacti
vated on August 11, 1950. It
operated under Brig. Gen.
Charles- C. Curtis before General
Armstrong assumed command.
Since then, the camp has been
built up to its present state of
, efficiency, and has turned out
■ thousands of artillerymen for
j the defense of the United States.

■ “the saviour of Antwerp,” com-
