For the estimated 30,000 who came by car and trailer, there was a 101-acre parking lot across the Hudson River in New Market, N.J., with reserved parking sites, food stores, a cafeteria, showers, and two big laundries equipped with washing machines. For those who came by train, bus, plane or ocean liner (the Georgic alone brought 244 of the 22,000 Witnesses coming from abroad), there were billets aplenty from Times Square to the Grand Concourse.

The regulation, conceived in an effort to improve morale by allowing men who become buddies to stick together, instructs officers to begin putting together four-man teams during the early weeks of training. Once picked, the men will team up in the field, sit together in mess halls, bunk in the same barracks space. Theoretically, they will be transferred overseas...
...small trestle bridge, but since the royal route lay northwards to the port of Londonderry, no direct harm was done. Some sufferers: 600 southern Irish who had served in the British forces in World War II and who were journeying to Belfast to salute the Queen. Their excursion train was delayed...
