"Thur., November 25th, 1943 - Souvenir Thanksgiving Menu - dedicated to the men of the Station Hospital - Camp Phillips, Kansas". Menu, plus large roster of all medical personnel. Printed in brown ink on off-white paper, and the cover is a deep sepia toned paper, so doesn't photograph particularly well.

During its short existence, just over two years, Sept. 24, 1942 until Nov. 16, 1944, Camp Phillips was an active army post with over 45,000 soldiers and 5,000 civilians at one time. It is estimated that over 150,000 troops trained at Camp Phillips. Four Infantry Divisions trained there the 94th, 80th, 79th, and the 44th. In addition, nineteen non-Divisional units were trained there including the 405th Artillery Group of which the 275th was a part.

After Nov. 1944 Camp Phillips became a prisoner of war camp and surplus storage depot. They had about seven thousand German PW's imprisoned there, and they used them to dismantle most of the buildings.
