Terry K. Posted January 16, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 16, 2014 Too bad I did not know you wanted Camp Grant as I had 27 post cards with all kinds of views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugi45 Posted February 20, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 20, 2014 Camp Beauregard is in Pineville, Louisiana. Nearby Alexandria. Sorry I have no photos like the ones you are looking for. Being in the Louisiana National Guard, I have spent a lot of time at "Camp B". There is a particular shooting range there that has inscriptions in "the pit" made by soldiers. Some of these inscriptions date all the way back to the Great War and World War 2. Names, dates, hometowns. You might be able to contact louisianahistorymuseum.org for more info on Camp Beauregard. Good luck! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent some quality time in Alex and beautiful Fort Polk back in 2001 but had no idea I'd be working this project then..maybe next time you are on the range, you can snap a few shots of the pits and inscriptions...I'll put em in the book and credit you....regards, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugi45 Posted February 21, 2014 Share #10 Posted February 21, 2014 It will probably up to a year or so before I could. I try to make the shooting match there every year around this time but I couldn't this year because I'm deployed.

Custermen Posted January 24, 2015 Share #14 Posted January 24, 2015 For what it's worth, my Great-grand-Uncle died at Camp Beauregard on December 1, 1861. That was located in Kentucky, just north of Union City, TN, and near the town of Feliciana. It is only a civilian cemetery and a Confederate memorial. It was evacuated during that winter due to disease hitting the soldiers. One surgeon years later would state he believed the deaths was caused by cerebrospinal meningitis.

sigma9r Posted March 22, 2016 Share #15 Posted March 22, 2016 Custermen, Being from Union City, TN, I had never heard of Camp Beauregard. After doing a little light research, I found that it's near Water Valley, KY and was built to protect the right flank of Columbus, KY. Just some more trivia about Graves County, KY and SW KY!!
