The Houma Times November 6, 1943
The advance group, guards and soldiers who will set up tents at the camp for the 
German prisoners of war which is being constructed at Woodlawn are scheduled to 
arrive here today, according to County Agent Milton J. Andrepont.

The camp, which will house about 250 German prisoners who will assist in the 
harvesting of the sugar cane crop, is privately owned. It has been approved by 
the war department and is owned and constructed at the expense of the Southcoast 
company, who made the contract for the employment of the prisoners, the agent 
said.

The building will be ready today or tomorrow, he stated.
