Campo/Camp Lockett (site)

"Located at Campo, San Diego County, in the Milquatay Valley, Camp Lockett was a World War II Mexican border cavalry post established in 1941. It was named for Colonel James Lockett, awarded two Silver Stars for "gallantry in action against insurgent forces" in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish American War. Later the post housed prisoners of war. Late in December 1942 Camp Lockett was placed on stand by status for future use as a convalescent center. The entire camp was declared surplus on April 30, 1946."
