1916. Dental hut in disembarkation camp for US GIs arriving in England. The ship ride across the Atlantic unfortunately did not generally have provisions for adequate personal care of teeth, and toothaches/inflamed gums were commonplace when GIs arrived. If they didn’t improve after a few days of proper care or became very decayed/infected, the dental hut was the new enlistee’s best friend.
