Camp Shanks, New York is well known by all members of the 63rd Infantry Division who went to Europe with the division. It was in this camp that we made our final preparations for movement to Europe and combat.
It seems only proper that we devote a small segment of the 63rd Infantry Division history to our point of debarkation for what would be the final time many of us would ever set foot on the soil of the United States of America. So here is a little bit about the history of Camp Shanks and some pictures that may well bring back memories to all 63rd Infantry Division veterans.
