Title
Foundational Posts
Description
Although military barracks were temporary the cemented foundational posts were permanent. Once the camp was considered surplus the buildings were easily disassembled. The posts however, were difficult to remove. After the war, land owners determined that it was cost effective to leave the posts in place.
