1940-1949

"This interior view of one of the army "hutments" which are mushrooming into existence at Jefferson Barracks, replacing tent areas, provides a sharp contrast to the old squad tent of World War 1 days. Veterans of that earlier war would marvel at the trim bunk - with not only blankets, but clean sheets and rolled comforter - at the variety of warm clothing furnished today's soldier, and at ample space provided each occupant for clothing."
