a grand day on the training area

[maple_leaf_eh]

If the training area has been closed to the public since 1942, there must be a lot of overgrowth and deteriorating man-made infrastructure. Anything noteworthy or quaint?

When the Camp Valcartier training area expanded north beyond its boundaries to take in the next set of crossroads, at least one village was absorbed. It was odd seeing pink and pale orange houses with shutters and no signs of life. In fact when I had to build a defensive positions (so armoured officers could attack us for the staff) I found old cancelled cheques and papers from the 1950's in the attic of our designated position.
