May be more recent camp than WW I installation.[edit]

Checks of description of Camp Curtis Guild in Zone of the Interior: Territorial Departments Tactical Divisions Organized in 1918 Posts, Camps, and Stations, page 699, "Guild, Camp Curtis, Mass." does not match the information that appears to be correct for a later camp that was one of the embarkation camps for the Boston Port of Embarkation in WW II. That description (my emphasis):

Guild, Camp Curtis, Mass.

State reservation, located 20 miles north of Boston at Boxford, Essex County. Named in honor of Maj. Gen. Curtis Guild, Mass. Vol. Militia; Governor of Mass., 1906-08. Used as mobilization camp by Mass. N. G., July 1917; thereafter, by U. S. for initial muster of State troops.

The locations do not match. I've also gotten indications elsewhere of two camps with the name. Palmeira (talk) 17:28, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
