mmerc20 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share #26 Posted April 29, 2014 No luck determining what our building is yet. I do have a copy of TM 5-280 on the way though. Here is a question. Any clue if there was a TM or some sort of document that showed all the 700 series buildings like the 800 series TM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
468abnarm Posted April 7, 2015 Share #27 Posted April 7, 2015 Just a wild guess, but an "exchange garden" could be an area outside of an exchange where troops could smoke and drink. It was not uncommon in the early 20th Century to refer to small restaurants as "beer gardens" after the German custom. Great resource that you found, by the way. Here is a photo of the exchange / beer garden that Gil refers to. The blue outline shows the "garden" attached to the PX The red outline shows the barracks that I lived in during Basic Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmerc20 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted December 31, 2015 It's been awhile since I made this post but I managed to get a copy of the TM 5-280 awhile back. I was curious though, this was dated 1944 and the only version I could find. Does anyone know where the building blueprints came from early in the war? 1941? 1942?

siege1863 Posted April 26, 2016 Share #29 Posted April 26, 2016 Mike--- I believe you and I are both searching for a copy of TM 5-280 (November 1942). I have an interest in buildings erected at a POW camp in early 1943. The plans found in the 1944 publication differ. I am looking for Series 700 plans. ---Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
