Dick,
Need a little more info, but may be able to help.
1. I believe Camp Green was near Charlotte, NC... and was constructed in 90 days to train
troops for WW1. It appears that this camp was used primarily for soldiers from the
"north." Southerners were apparently sent further south to SC.

2. Do you have any other info... a first name perhaps?
Below is a link to a photo of my grandfather, Thomas Madden Cathcart, taken while a cadet
at Clemson University in 1913.

Sorry, it's a little small; but maybe you'll be able to tell if it's the same
person.
My grandfather served during WW1, but I don't know if he went to Camp Green.
I'd love to see a copy of the photo you have if that's possible.
Cheers,
John
