SERVING THE US IN THE FIELD & FACTORY!
This past weekend offered a
great opportunity to turn the clock
back to the early 1940's to see how
the men and women who served our
country lived during World War II.
The annual WWII Days Encampment was
held at the test track in Berwick. That
test track was used to test Stuart Tanks
which were manufactured in Berwick at
the former AC&F Factory. 15, 224 tanks
were made to support the war effort and
9,135 local workers did the job. The
Stuart Memorial Association has presented
the encampment every July since 2015!
There are all kinds of equipement and
demonstrations including battle scenes
and wepon firing exhibits. The video
version of this blog contains some
samples! It's all to honor those who
served both on the front lines and in
defense jobs like those that produced
the Stuart tanks. Hope you'll stop by
to see for yourself next year and that
all your NEWS is good!
